VPS hosting in India: cheap KVM NVMe VPS, Linux or Windows, billed hourly.

Nothing — it is the same product. A VPS (virtual private server) is a KVM virtual machine with its own vCPU, reserved RAM, NVMe disk, public IPv4 and root access. BookMyHost cloud servers are KVM VPS on Apache CloudStack; the word "cloud" only means you can create, resize and delete them by the hour through a panel and an API.

The smallest plan is ₹336 per month on a monthly plan or ₹0.66 per hour on hourly billing, exclusive of 18% GST. IPv4, a 1 Gbps port, DDoS protection and one snapshot are included in every price and there is no setup fee. Longer terms are cheaper: 12 months is 44% below the hourly list and 36 months is 65% below.

Self-managed (unmanaged) with root or administrator access, a VNC console, one-click OS reinstall and a free snapshot, plus human support for the platform, network and billing. If you would rather describe what you want and have it built for you, CloudAIBot installs and configures the stack at no extra charge.

Yes. Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025 run on any plan with at least 4 vCPU and 8 GB RAM, with RDP ready at first boot, and the Windows VPS plans come in three ready-made sizes. The Windows licence is included (₹0 per core today); Forex and Gaming plans include it in their price.

Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04, Debian 12, AlmaLinux 8 and 9, Rocky Linux 9 and CentOS Stream, plus stack images for WordPress, LAMP/LEMP, Docker and cPanel/WHM or Plesk with your own licence. You can reinstall any image from the panel in minutes.

Inbound traffic is free and unmetered. Outbound traffic runs on a 1 Gbps port under a fair-use allowance per plan; there is no per-GB charge and no bandwidth line on the invoice. Attack traffic never counts because it is scrubbed by Cloudflare Magic Transit before it reaches the server.

KVM on Apache CloudStack, with a real kernel per VM. RAM is reserved, not oversold, and disks are NVMe on AMD EPYC hosts, so a 4 GB plan has 4 GB when you need it.

No — it is a dedicated VM. Physical dedicated servers are not sold here; every server is a KVM virtual machine whose vCPU and RAM are reserved for it and never overcommitted, so it behaves like a small dedicated machine but deploys in minutes, resizes in place and can be billed by the hour.

Every VPS is deployed in our Noida (Delhi NCR) datacentre today, which reaches Mumbai in about 25 ms, Bengaluru in about 35 ms, Hyderabad in about 30 ms and Chennai in about 40 ms because we peer at Indian internet exchanges. Mumbai and Chennai regions are coming at the same price, and a snapshot moves a VM between regions.

Right here, in four steps: sign up, complete eKYC once, choose a size, operating system and term, then pay by UPI, card, net-banking or wallet. The VPS is live in under a minute and the GST tax invoice is issued automatically.

Yes. Hourly billing is per started hour (minimum 1 hour), so renting a VPS for a week costs a week. Delete it from the panel and the charge stops.

Yes. BookMyHost is run by a registered Indian private limited company with a GSTIN, on hardware we own and operate in a Noida datacentre and on our own network, peered at Indian internet exchanges. Your contract, invoices and data are governed by Indian law.

Under a minute after payment: the VM boots, the panel shows the root password and IP, and the API returns the same. Every account completes eKYC once (Aadhaar/DigiLocker, or a document for foreign customers) before the first deployment, as CERT-In requires.

UPI, Indian cards, net-banking, a prepaid wallet, or a USD card for offshore customers. Every paid order produces a GST tax invoice with your GSTIN and the CGST/SGST or IGST split, so a GST-registered business can claim input tax credit.
