Website cost in India — the transparent 2026 breakdown

No more “please contact us for pricing.” Here is exactly what a website costs in India in 2026, broken down by type, provider, and hidden monthly bills.

Build cost (one-time)

Recurring monthly cost (the part no one tells you)

• Domain: ₹800 – ₹1,500/year
• Hosting: ₹300 – ₹2,000/month (shared), ₹2,500 – ₹8,000/month (managed/VPS)
• SSL: usually free (Let’s Encrypt)
• Email (Google Workspace): ₹136 – ₹1,380/user/month
• Maintenance: ₹2,000 – ₹15,000/month depending on scope
• SEO (if you want traffic): ₹15k – ₹1L+/month

The trap: “₹5,000 full website”

You get a Wix/GoDaddy template, no SEO, no ownership, and monthly rent forever. Never do this if the site is for a real business.
