Hostkarle is an India-based web host established in 2015 with a mission to deliver affordable, managed shared hosting and domains. They highlight robust security (firewalls, malware scanning, regular updates), managed operations, and a focus on performance and reliability for small sites and beginners. Marketing claims include low customer density per server, "no overselling," and a strong uptime focus.

As of 2025, their portfolio narrowed to two core products: Shared Hosting and Domain Registration/Transfer. Older lines (VPS, reseller, dedicated) that reportedly existed around 2020 are no longer offered, suggesting a strategic retrenchment toward entry-level hosting. They also tout scale numbers (10,000+ users, 88,000+ sites hosted) and long-running domain pricing with free WHOIS privacy and no renewal price hikes.

💰 Price & Cost

Shared Hosting "Basic" is listed at ₹149/mo, with a heavy promo of ₹49/mo on a 3-year plan. Billing is available on monthly or annual terms. Domains are positioned as low-cost with free WHOIS privacy.
Money-back / refunds: messaging is inconsistent.

• Home/domain FAQ and a Refund Policy page state 7-day money-back ("no questions asked").
• The About page mentions a 15-day guarantee on hosting plans.
  If a refund window matters, it’s prudent to confirm the exact period before ordering.

Payments: Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Payoneer accepted; client portal supports USD and INR.

🏢 Data Center

They do not publish a comprehensive location list, and do not claim ownership of datacenter buildings. Announcements have referenced an outage at a Dallas, USA site, implying at least some U.S. presence. Formal uptime language is mixed: Terms say they cannot guarantee uninterrupted service and no formal SLA is documented, yet some older dedicated pages advertised 99.9% (those dedicated offerings are no longer current). The homepage marketing also claims "100% uptime on cloud shared hosting," which is not backed by SLA terms.

✍️ Customer Support

Support channels include live chat and email ( support @ hostkarle.in), with claims of 24×7 availability, call support, and ~10-minute reply times without tiered escalation. Free migrations are not stated; assistance emphasis is on being responsive rather than on specific onboarding perks.

🔨 Control Panel

Shared hosting uses cPanel, which is familiar to most users and eases migration from other providers.

🎯 Conclusion

Hostkarle’s strengths are simple, cPanel-based shared hosting, aggressive long-term pricing (₹49/mo on 3-year), free WHOIS privacy for domains, and straightforward security basics. For individuals and small Indian businesses seeking a low-cost, managed shared host, the offering is easy to understand.

On the caution side, there’s portfolio contraction (no VPS/reseller/dedicated in 2025), inconsistent refund messaging (7 vs. 15 days), and no formal, published uptime SLA despite strong uptime claims. The limited visibility into datacenter footprint and the noted Dallas incident also warrant consideration. Overall, they are a budget-friendly shared host with clear appeal for entry-level sites; buyers needing SLA-backed uptime, upgrade paths to VPS/reseller, or multi-region transparency should verify specifics—or consider providers with broader, contractually defined service levels.
