So today we are here to share with you the best Cloud Hostings in India especially for beginners. Before we begin with the Best Cloud Hostings in India for Beginners, let’s discuss What is Cloud hosting.

What is Cloud Hosting

Cloud hosting is similar to web hosting where multiples servers are being used. The purpose of web hosting is to balance the load and maximize uptime. Here we are getting our desired resources from a centralized pool which is also known as a cluster.

The biggest advantage of a cloud cluster is that even if we lose one server, there are plenty of others to keep the balance in the web hosting.

1) CLOUDWAYS

This a managed Cloud hosting service that is very powerful in nature. It is very easy to set up , unlike traditional cloud hostings. If you are someone, who has no knowledge of server management, then Cloudways, provides a really easy to use interface to install multiple wordpress sites, and manage them.

Cloudways provides hosting from major cloud hosting providers like Digital Ocean, AWS, Google Cloud, Linode and Vultr.

They have flexible plans from each provider starting from a minimum of 10 dollars per month. You can always choose the configuration, according to your needs.

Cons:

Nothing as such

2) A2 HOSTING

The next best on our list is A2 Hosting. A2 hosting services have been there since 2001. With its high speed and great uptime, this has become one of the best services one can choose from. The UI is user-friendly and thus more popular among people.

If you are looking for a fast web hosting service at a relatively cheaper rate, then A2 is perfect for you. It is one of the most reliable cloud hosting that is provided. There is 24/7 malware scanning going on and server monitoring that makes it secure and free from any malicious practices.

3) Siteground

Siteground is really a great option, when it comes to cloud hosting. Their customer support is really good, and also it’s based on Google Cloud. The user interface is smooth, but the problem here is the cost. Siteground Cloud hosting services, are really expensive for a begineer, so only opt for siteground, if you have deep pockets. Siteground’s shared hosting services are really great, but post one year, the price hike is almost double.

So overall siteground is a premium hosting provider, and being a beginner you can use the shared hosting plans, but use the cloud hosting plan, only if you can sustain it on a long run. If you want similar performance at a cheaper price, checkout the Google Cloud plans on Cloudways. They are more cost-effective.

• Almost no downtime
• Easy to use
• Free Migration
• SG optimiser caching plugin is good

Cons:

• Plans are expensive for beginners

4)HOSTGATOR

5) Hostinger

Hostinger is another major player in the hosting domain, especially in India. Hostinger has some quite good cloud hosting plans, at an affordable rate.
