Godaddy

Godaddy has VPS and Dedicated servers also.You can even get managed hosting where Godaddy will manage an ardent server by letting their employees personally set up your server and install the approved Web applications  you  might need for blogging, eCommerce or for managing customer contacts.If you are likely to use WordPress as your cms you may opt for WordPress hosting which godaddy claims that you'll have your website up in 30 seconds.Another Hosting Bundle for Beginners is website builder plans.You also have option of c panel (linux) or Parallels Plesk (windows server).The most Popular of most these is Shared hosting which you can get upto 82% discount and domains for Rs. 12 (including tax) using above Godaddy Coupons.

But the sad part is that Godaddy India do not offer unlimited disk space and MySQL Database for Economy and Deluxe programs which their competition offer. Also having used their website contractor plan it feels that you can’t do much than writing and submitting articles.you are unable to even directly copy paste articles
