What this comparison is
WebJi wrote this page. WebJi is not DreamHost or HostGator, and this is not their support desk. The names are used only to identify the products. Their phone numbers, chat lines and support email addresses are not published here.
One of the two prices was on the company's page. The other was not. This article quotes only the one that was read.
DreamHost on 29 October 2026
DreamHost's shared hosting page showed a plan named Web Hosting Launch at $2.89 per month on a yearly term, with a renewal of $10.99 per month. The currency was US dollars.
That page is not an INR checkout. The amount on an Indian card is $10.99 times the card's dollar rate, plus any foreign-transaction fee, plus whatever tax applies. This page does not invent that rupee total.
The same read also showed other DreamHost products that are not shared hosting. They are not mixed into the Launch price.
HostGator on 29 October 2026
A stable public price was not captured from this company's own page on 29 October 2026. A guessed rupee figure would be worse than a blank, so this page does not print one. On their pricing page, write down the introductory monthly price, the term that price requires, the renewal price, the currency, the tax line, and what is included. That note is the comparison.
A page that returned another company's prices under a HostGator address was discarded. Only HostGator's own plan table, read by you, should fill this gap.
How to compare them anyway
Write one row per company.
- Currency and renewal monthly price.
- Term required for the intro price. DreamHost Launch was described as yearly.
- How you export the site. DreamHost's shared page did not describe a cPanel full backup, so plan on files plus a database export unless your account shows otherwise.
- Mail, backups and SSL, included or extra.
WebJi's L-Basic is ₹300/month before GST. It is cheaper than DreamHost only if $10.99, converted and taxed, comes out above ₹300. Do that math on the day you pay. HostGator's row stays blank until you have their renewal.
Moving off either host
Copy first, test on a temporary address, then change DNS. Keep the old account until the mailbox works. The domain can stay at its registrar. Neither company's contact line is listed here.
Rates printed on this website
These figures are WebJi's, printed on webji.in. They are not a price for any other company.
Shared hosting lists L-Basic at ₹300/month (₹3,000 for one year), L-Unlimited at ₹400/month (₹4,000) and L-Developer at ₹700/month (₹7,000), before 18% GST. That page also says renewal rates are printed before you pay. The shape of the price is a monthly rate and a one-year total, not a 36-month or 48-month introductory rate.
Domain registration lists indicative ranges, before 18% GST: .com registration ₹900–1,200/year and renewal ₹1,000–1,400/year; .in registration ₹500–800/year and renewal ₹700–1,000/year. A range is not a cart total. The amount at checkout is the price.
Where another company's renewal figure is lower than ₹300/month, that is what their page showed. Compare that renewal figure with L-Basic, then add tax on both sides. A lower first-term advertisement is a different number from the renewal.
Frequently Asked Questions
What did DreamHost Launch cost?
On 29 October 2026 the shared page showed $2.89/month on a yearly term and a renewal of $10.99/month, in US dollars. The rupee amount depends on your card and is not printed here.
Why is HostGator blank?
A reliable HostGator plan table was not captured from HostGator's own site that day. One fetch mixed in another brand's prices and was thrown out. Read HostGator's page directly and keep the renewal figure.
Is $2.89 the price in year two?
The page showed $2.89 as the term price and $10.99 as the renewal. Year two follows the renewal unless the cart says the intro continues. Read the renewal line.
Does DreamHost give you a cPanel backup?
The shared page we read did not describe one. Export the files and the database from the panel the account uses. If a later screen offers a one-click backup, that file is fine too.
How should I compare $10.99 with ₹300?
Multiply $10.99 by the dollar rate your card will use, add the card fee and any tax, and set that next to ₹300 plus 18% GST. Whichever total is lower is the lower price that day. The $2.89 intro is not the number to use.
Can I move the site without their support desk?
Yes. The export tools are in the hosting account. DNS is at the registrar. This page does not publish DreamHost or HostGator contact details.
