The alternative to oversold Indian budget hosting — dedicated resources you can verify.

The Indian budget-hosting market is crowded with resold capacity and oversold nodes. Here’s what a dedicated-resource alternative actually looks like.

4 reasons people switch.

1. Dedicated, not shared

Every HostCraft vCPU and GB of RAM is allocated to your VM — no swap, no CPU contention. Check steal time and /tps yourself at peak hour.

2. DDoS protection that’s on

Mumbai, Delhi NCR and Singapore sit behind always-on inline mitigation on 10 Gbps ports — not "protected" as a marketing label.

3. Windows included

Licensed Windows Server 2022/2025 on every tier — no ₹399-style licence add-on surprises at checkout.

4. Uptime you can audit

Public status history at /resources/status/ — don’t trust any host (us included) without it.
