The Hostinger alternative for Indian users who need Windows, games or a cheaper VM.

People leave Hostinger for a VPS when they hit the wall: no Windows RDP, no game servers, entry pricing above ours. Here’s what switching actually gets you.

4 reasons people switch.

1. Windows RDP exists here

Hostinger’s VPS line is Linux-only — there is no Windows option at any price. Every HostCraft tier ships licensed Windows Server 2022/2025 included.

2. Game servers are a product, not a workaround

Minecraft from $1.97/mo and FiveM from $3.02/mo on a real panel — not "rent a Linux box and figure it out".

3. The entry price is lower

$2.59/mo with a dedicated IPv4 — verifiable on our pricing page.

4. Payments India actually uses

UPI, NEFT/IMPS, bKash, Easypaisa, JazzCash, USDT and Binance Pay — not just cards.

The price, itemised

Hostinger’s strength is shared hosting bundles — if you only need WordPress, they’re fine and we’ll say so. The moment you need Windows, a game panel, or the cheapest real VM in India, the comparison ends. See the full HostCraft vs Hostinger breakdown.

Yes — it’s a normal Linux/Windows migration. Deploy here, copy your data, cut over DNS.
Public uptime history on our status page — verify before you switch, don’t take our word.
Theirs is longer — that’s honest. Ours is 7 days; a week is enough to test a server properly.
