Estimate a monthly range for shared hosting, VPS, cloud VMs, dedicated or managed servers from the number of servers, an illustrative per-server band and your fixed monthly extras.
Choose the type of hosting, enter how many servers or plans you need and your fixed monthly extras. The tool multiplies the number of servers by the low and high cost per server and adds the fixed amount. Everything is before 18% GST.
What goes in fixed extras. Items that do not scale neatly with the server count: backup storage and snapshots, data transfer out beyond any free allowance, public IP addresses, a load balancer, a paid support plan, control-panel or Windows/SQL licences, and a monitoring tool. If a line does scale with servers (for example a per-VM backup agent), add it to the per-server band instead.
Worked example (illustrative). Two VPS at ₹800–₹3,000 a month each = ₹1,600–₹6,000. Add ₹2,500 of fixed extras (offsite backups, one extra IP and a small data-transfer overage) = ₹4,100–₹8,500 a month before GST, or about ₹4,838–₹10,030 with 18% GST. Switch the type to an on-demand cloud VM and the same two servers come to ₹11,500–₹20,500 before GST, which is why the choice of hosting type matters more than shaving a few rupees off one plan.
Limits. The bands are illustrative, not market prices or vendor quotes. Real prices depend on region, CPU generation, disk type, bandwidth included, support level and the exchange rate for dollar-billed services. Replace the bands with written quotes or the provider's own price page for your region, and see what drives a cloud bill.
