Their hosting service starts form 99 indian rupees per month. The more intresting part is they have Nginx, Apache and varnish services along with those they also have php-fpm support which makes websites load much faster when we browse. They also provide vps for the clients in order to host multiple websites and to have their own shared hositng platform at a much lesser price. The fact behind providing all these at much lesser price is because they support other startup companies to grow their business.
