Whenever you ask for web hosting recommendations in any Nepali forum, there’ll be people who will strongly suggest you skip them for international providers, citing unreliable services and unprofessional support shown by Nepali companies.
Well, suppose you can afford the international providers and have a dollar card or other international payment method at your disposal. In that case, you should stop reading this article at this point and find a detailed comparison of the world’s best hosting services.
But from my personal experience, Nepali web hosting is good enough for those who are just starting out. They are perfect if you are expecting a small niche audience on your website or are starting a website to put your newly found skill to the test or as a hobby.
In my case, I created my first website for free using infinityfree (check how I did it here), and when it finally started getting traction, I decided to go for paid hosting.
Here’s why I picked a web hosting based in Nepal over a global counterpart like Hostinger or GoDaddy:
- While my website was getting some traffic, it was not generating any revenue, so I needed a budget option.
- I did not have access to a dollar card or other international payment method that I could use for global checkout.
- The majority of the features advertised by international hosting providers were way overkill for my small website.
Free vs Paid Web Hosting
If these points relate to you, free web hosting services like infinityfree and 000webhot are still an option. They are perfect for pet projects, hobbies, and test sites.
You can also use these services as you build your site and then migrate to more robust services when it’s ready.
Here are some signs that you need to shift from free web hosting to a paid plan:
- You outgrew the free plan. Free hosting comes with limitations; when you start hitting those, it’s time to upgrade.
- Free services are, well, unreliable, so downtime is expected here and there. However, if it happens all the time it’s a sign.
- Finally, if you test the website is getting quality traffic, I strongly recommend you to good hosting to capitalize on it.
Best Web Hosting Providers in Nepal
There are plenty of hosting providers in Nepal. However, this post will only cover two: Babal Host and Nest Nepal. The reason is that I have personally used and have had good experience with both.
Babal Host
What I like about Babal Host is the straightforward pricing model. They don’t confuse you by bombarding you with tens of options for each hosting. There are at most two plans for each hosting and the plans are priced accordingly. You don’t have to commit to a multi-year contract to get the best deals.

Pros of Babal Host
- Straight-forward plans
- Affordable annual pricing
- Free SSL and 99.99% uptime guarantee
Nest Nepal
My next recommendation is Nest Nepal. They offer a lot of hosting plans so you will have to be a little careful when choosing a plan (Not all have the 99.99% uptime guarantee). But for beginners, I recommend going for Web Pro.
Moreover, they have flexible plans where you can pay monthly, annually, or tri-annually. They also have plans with new domain registration bundled.

Pros of Nest Nepal
- Flexible pricing plans (Monthly, Anually, and Tri-annually)
- Plans with Free Domains
Wrapping Best Hosting Providers in Nepal
So, Babal Host and Nest Nepal are my recommendations if you are looking for affordable plans to get started.
If you already own a domain, say free .com.np, Babal Host could be a good option. They have good annual plans that you won’t have to scratch your heads around.
But if you need more options, Nest Nepal has them with bundled domains. But do check the plan you are opting for has the uptime you need.
