Cheapest VPS in India: Mumbai, Bangalore, and Pune Compared & Ranked

This article compares four low-cost Virtual Private Server (VPS) providers: WebHorizon, KhanWebHost, DigitalOcean, and LeapSwitch. We focus on their VPS offerings with data centers in Mumbai, Bangalore, and Pune, India, to help you evaluate options for your hosting requirements.

WebHorizon:

At just $3.00 per month, WebHorizon currently offers the cheapest VPS in Mumbai, India among all hosting providers. The specifications of this server are very small with a 15 GB OS disk, 1 GB of system RAM and as little as 1 TB of monthly internet traffic. The value of this server consists in its location rather than its hardware, because it effectively minimizes the network latency of clients connected from the Maharashtra State.

KhanWebHost:

At a slightly higher price of $4.00 per month, KhanWebHost also operates a VPS in Mumbai of limited provisions with just 1 CPU core, 10 GB of disk space and 800 GB of monthly bandwidth. The CPU of this server is slower compared to WebHorizon's and the overall hardware allocation is scarcer despite its higher price point. Again the main asset of this server should be seen in its strategic location rather than in its modest performance.

DigitalOcean:

Significantly higher in the price ladder, at $6.00 per month DigitalOcean offers a VPS in Bangalore with marginally better hardware than WebHorizon or KhanWebHost, with 25 GB of SSD disk space and a 2 Gbps network port and a similar configuration as per CPU, memory and data transit. Without surprise, DigitalOcean named this little instance "Basic VPS Droplet".

LeapSwitch:

The last server in this comparison is offered by LeapSwitch at $9.00 per month from a data center in Pune, Maharashtra. This is the fastest hardware configuration among the tested VPS's, providing 2 Epyc cores, 4 GB of RAM and 60 GB of NVMe storage, with a relatively similar network setup as per the other offers. The higher pricing of this server however make it uncompetitive particularly against non-Indian providers within the broader East Asia region.
