How much does a website cost in India in 2026?
A simple website for a small business in India usually costs about ₹2,000 to ₹25,000 to build with a freelancer, and more with an agency. After that, budget about ₹800 to ₹2,000 a year for the domain name, and anything from ₹0 to ₹4,000 a year for hosting. At YourWeblancer, landing pages start at ₹1,999, business websites at ₹3,999 and custom websites at ₹5,999, and you see a free demo before you pay.
What it costs to build
Prices depend on how much work is involved, not just the number of pages. As a rough guide:
| Type of website | Typical build price | Usual time |
|---|---|---|
| One-page landing page | about ₹2,000 to ₹10,000 | 1 to 3 days |
| Business website, 5 to 7 pages | about ₹4,000 to ₹25,000 | 2 to 10 days |
| Online store, booking or custom features | about ₹10,000 to ₹1,00,000 or more | 1 to 6 weeks |
Freelancers are usually at the lower end of these ranges and agencies at the higher end. A one-time build price is normal; be careful with packages that are cheap at the start but tie you to yearly fees paid to the designer.
What you pay every year
| Item | Roughly per year | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| .in domain name | ₹800 to ₹1,200 | The first year is often discounted. Check the renewal price before you buy. |
| .com domain name | ₹900 to ₹2,000 | Same as above: the renewal price is the real price. |
| Hosting for a simple website | ₹0 to ₹4,000 | Simple, fast websites can run on free hosting such as Cloudflare Pages or GitHub Pages. |
| Business email (optional) | Paid monthly, per user | You can start with a normal Gmail address and add this later. |

What makes a website cost more
- More pages, and more text to write for them.
- A custom design instead of a ready-made template.
- Features such as online payments, booking, customer logins or an admin panel to edit products.
- Photos and writing, if the designer has to create them for you.
- More than one language, for example English and Hindi.
- Regular changes and maintenance every month.
How to avoid overpaying or getting stuck
- See a design before you pay in full. A homepage demo shows you what you're buying.
- Own your domain. Register it in your name, in an account you can log in to, even if someone sets it up for you.
- Get your files or access. When the work is done, you should be able to move the website if you change designers.
- Ask for renewal prices. Ask what the domain and hosting cost in year two, not just the first-year offer.
- Put the scope in writing. Pages, features and the number of change rounds, agreed before you start.

Questions about website costs
Is ₹2,000 enough for a business website in India?
For a one-page landing page, yes. Around ₹2,000 can get you a mobile-friendly page with your services, a contact form and a WhatsApp button. A multi-page business website usually costs more because there is more to design and write.
Do I have to pay for my website every year?
You pay to build it once. After that, the domain name renews every year, and hosting may be free or paid depending on the website. Ask for the renewal prices before you start.
Is it cheaper to make a website on Wix or another website builder?
Builders let you make a site yourself, but most charge a monthly or yearly subscription to use your own domain and remove their branding, and the site often can't be moved to another host. Hiring someone costs more at the start, but you can own the files.
Who should own my domain name?
You should. Register it in your own name and in an account you can log in to, even if a designer sets it up for you, so you keep your web address if you change designers.
