HostGator India vs Bluehost India

It has been not so long since Bluehost and HostGator — two of the most-trusted names in the field of web hosting — brought Indian dedicated versions of their services. Appropriately enough, they are called HostGator India & Bluehost India. There are several reasons why these Indian versions are better than going for the global versions. For instance, you will have a better level of customer support in local language, compatibility of common payment methods, better performance and loading speed, local SEO boosts, etc. That being said, resembling the global scenario, HostGator India vs Bluehost India has created some confusion among professionals. So, when you’re a web-based professional who hails from India or Asia, you may be confused in picking one from the duo. In this article, we have compared HostGator India vs Bluehost India. Therefore, you can decide which one is most appropriate for your web hosting needs.

Availability of Hosting Packages

In HostGator India, you get all the kinds of hosting packages you’re assured about in the global counterpart. The list includes basic shared hosting in both Linux and Windows environment, reseller hosting, VPS Hosting and a dedicated server sector. Regardless the option you choose, your server will be located in Indian subcontinent, thus ensuring an enhanced loading speed and performance for those who access your website or blog from India or some other parts of Asia. In short, as it comes to the case of service availability, HostGator India never disappoints us.

The case is more or less the same in Bluehost India, where you get almost all the required forms of web hosting. You have, for instance, shared hosting and reseller hosting and you can choose either Microsoft Windows or Linux as the Operating System. As we get to the standalone-server sector, you have VPS and dedicated servers to choose from, in addition to the selection of server location and environment options. However, in addition to these, you also have an option for WordPress hosting, which is a form of managed WordPress hosting you get.

It’s a tie!

HostGator India vs Bluehost India: The Pricing Factor

In the pricing sector of HostGator, you can find three different plans to choose from. The first plan, Hatchling, is said to cost you 355INR per month, and lets you host single domain. However, you get the freedom of unlimited amount of resources. The second plan lets you host unlimited domain names with unlimited resource allocation and it can be yours by paying just 455INR. The third package, which gives you unlimited resources and a free SSL and dedicated IP, is going to cost you 655INR per month.

HostGator India Hosting Plans

In Linux Shared Hosting section of Bluehost, three different plans can be found, with different amount of resources. The plans are priced at 309INR, 349INR and 499INR respectively and give you single, three and unlimited hosting of domain names. In all the plans, you have the benefits of unlimited disk space and bandwidth, but the difference is all about number of domains that can be hosted. By the way, it needs to be noted that the prices given by Bluehost are applicable only when you purchase hosting for three years. Otherwise, you have to pay more.

So, on a closer look, HostGator India has a better and affordable pricing plan. In other words, it’s the better choice.

The only difference is that you get the same expert support in local language if you prefer it. In addition, as we come to the case of control panel, it has a highly-productive yet easy-to-use cPanel-based panel.

We won’t say the customer support of Bluehost India is bad. However, when compared, it seems that HostGator has an upper hand on that matter. Likewise, if we are to take the case of control panel, Bluehost India control panel is somewhat simplistic, which isn’t preferred by some people.

So, in short, you have room for selection.

    Rohit,

    Thanks for the question. Let me provide you some answers:

    1. According to HostGator, the Baby plan will be best suited for up to about 7,000 – 8,000 visitors a day. Therefore, your monthly unique visitors would be somewhere around 210,000 – 240,000 a month.
    2. WordPress Hosting can occur on a Linux or Windows based operating system. So, there is not really a difference between Linux Hosting and WordPress Hosting. However, a lot of the WordPress hosting will offer some beneficial add-ons with the WordPress Hosting. Some examples may include:

  • Free premium WP themes
  • Auto updates
  • One-Click Installs
  • SuperCacher for WP
  • WP-CLI Enabled
  • WordPress specific support
  • Git repo creation
  • …just to name a few.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Ryan
