When each one is the right call
Choose AWS if
- You use managed AWS services such as RDS, SQS, Lambda or EKS and want the servers next to them.
- You need several regions or availability zones, or a compliance programme tied to AWS.
- Your company already has an AWS agreement, credits or a reserved-instance commitment.
Choose BookMyHost Cloud if
- You run a few servers and want one rupee GST invoice with the public IP and DDoS protection in the price.
- Outbound traffic is a large part of your load and a metered line is hard to forecast.
- You want hourly billing in rupees without a support plan to size.

AWS comparison questions
Is BookMyHost cheaper than AWS for a Mumbai server?
For the plain virtual servers in the table on this page, yes at the list prices shown, and the gap widens once the public IPv4 address and outbound traffic are counted. AWS can come out ahead with committed-use pricing or when you need its managed services, which this comparison does not price.
Does AWS charge for a public IPv4 address?
AWS lists a monthly charge per public IPv4 address. It is included in the AWS totals on this page.
Can I move from AWS to a BookMyHost server?
A server with Linux, a database and files moves like any other: copy the data and repoint DNS. Anything that depends on an AWS managed service has to be replaced or stay on AWS.
Same server, priced in rupees
IPv4, DDoS scrubbing and a snapshot included. GST invoice in rupees. Every new account starts with ₹200 of free credit.
