Why Hoststack Beats BigRock for Indian Businesses
Mumbai Tier-III infrastructure built for speed
Hoststack operates its own Tier-III certified Mumbai data center with dedicated hardware for hosting customers. BigRock's infrastructure has gone through multiple ownership changes under EIG, which has historically resulted in server over-provisioning and slower performance across their brand portfolio.
No long-term commitment needed for fair pricing
BigRock's headline ₹59/mo price requires a 3-year upfront commitment. Hoststack's ₹99/mo price is available monthly. You get fair pricing without locking yourself in for 36 months.
LiteSpeed server for WordPress and PHP performance
Hoststack's Ultimate plan runs LiteSpeed — significantly faster than Apache for WordPress and PHP-heavy sites. BigRock runs Apache on most plans. The difference in WordPress performance is measurable in seconds.
Independent, India-owned company
Hoststack is incorporated in Kolkata as HOSTSTACK (OPC) PVT LTD (CIN: U63112WR2026OPC294671). It is not owned by an international holding company with dozens of acquired hosting brands. Your hosting decision supports an Indian startup, not a US parent corporation.
