Cloudflare Registrar or Porkbun for the domain, priced the same at renewal; Hostinger with an India server for WordPress, Cloudflare Pages for a static site.

Check year two before you buy: Hostinger India advertises a .com or .in for ₹1 in year one, and its hosting at ₹69 a month renews at ₹289. Cloudflare Registrar charges the registry's price with no markup but needs Cloudflare's nameservers; Porkbun works with any DNS. Register the domain in your company's name, not your developer's.
