We’ve featured Host IT Smart several times in the past.  India as a hosting geography is far less common, though there are some providers have hosting there.

For example, Vultr is in Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi.  Their cheapest offering is $5/month for 1GB of RAM.  If you want 4GB of RAM, pricing jumps up to $20/month.  DigitalOcean is also in Bangalore, and a 4GB VPS there would be $24/month.

But Host IT Smart has a 4GB VPS with 1TB of bandwidth for only $3.25/month (Rs 299/month)!  That’s more than 80% cheaper than the big hosts.

Who is Host IT Smart?  Here’s a bit about them in their own worlds:
