Which web hosting should a small business use?

Hostinger, for most small business websites in India: shared hosting is ₹69 a month on a 48-month term (renewing at ₹289), and you can pick an India server at setup so pages load fast for Indian visitors. MilesWeb, an Indian host with data centres in India, also starts at ₹69 a month on a 36-month term, bills plus GST and promises the same price at renewal. If the site is static or built with a framework, host it free: Cloudflare Pages gives unlimited sites, requests and bandwidth on every plan, and Netlify's Free plan stays free; Vercel's free Hobby plan is for personal, non-commercial use, so a business site there needs Pro at $20 a month. Rule: WordPress goes on a host with an India server, anything static goes on Cloudflare Pages, and you compare renewal prices, not the first term.
