Overall Cost Range in Pakistan

Your audience is large. DataReportal counted 117 million internet users in Pakistan at the end of 2025.

Hosting prices start low and rise with resources. Shared hosting is the entry point.

Our Starter plan costs ₨3,391.80 per year. That works out to ₨282.65 per month.

Billing length changes the math. Longer terms cut the monthly rate.

For example, our store lists Starter at ₨282.65 per month on a three-year term. The list price is $4.

Here is a rough first-year budget for a small site:

Item	Typical cost	Notes
Shared hosting (Starter)	₨3,391.80 per year	Annual billing
Domain	PKR 800–4,000+ per year	Varies by extension
SSL certificate	PKR 0	Free SSL comes with our plans
First-year total	Hosting price plus domain	A free domain can lower this

Four factors move the price:

• Plan type: shared, VPS, or dedicated
• Billing cycle: monthly, annual, or multi-year
• Traffic and resources: CPU, RAM, and storage
• Add-ons: paid SSL, extra backups, and email upgrades

Let’s start with the cheapest option.

1) Shared Hosting Costs

Our shared plans run from ₨3,391.80 (Starter, annual) to ₨49,797.28 (Unlimited, annual).

Plan	Annual	Monthly equivalent	Sites	Storage
Starter	₨3,391.80	₨282.65	10	30 GB SSD
Pro	₨10,175.40	₨847.95	30	50 GB SSD
Unlimited	₨49,797.28	₨4,149.77	Unlimited domains	Unlimited SSD

Starter and Pro each list about 50,000 visits per month.

What’s included:

• SSD storage
• Free SSL certificate
• Free daily backups
• Unlimited email accounts
• One-click installs through Softaculous
• cPanel
• Free website migrations

Best for:

• Blogs
• Portfolios
• Student projects
• Small business brochure sites

Shared vs higher tiers: Shared means your site sits on a server with other sites. That keeps the price low. It also means a busy neighbour can slow you down.

Choose shared when traffic is low and you don’t need root access. Move up when traffic spikes or you need custom software.

2) WordPress Hosting Costs

WordPress pricing overlaps heavily with shared plans. It starts at ₨3,391.80 and goes up to ₨49,797.28.

The platform is hard to avoid. W3Techs data reported this month puts WordPress at about 41% of all websites.

Key optimizations:

• One-click WordPress install
• Server-level caching
• Automatic updates support
• Security tools, including free SSL and daily backups
• WooCommerce readiness

What’s included vs regular shared: You get the same cPanel, storage, email, and backups. WordPress hosting adds a focus on WordPress setup and support from our team.

Best for:

• WordPress blogs
• Business websites
• Online stores

One tradeoff to know: shared limits still apply. A busy WooCommerce store may outgrow these plans.

Tip: most Truehost shared plans are already WordPress-ready. A dedicated “WordPress Hosting” label often means the same infrastructure with extra focus.

See the details on our WordPress hosting page.

3) VPS Hosting Costs

VPS hosting starts from ₨27,134.40.

The data centres listed on these plans are in Europe and the USA. Keep that in mind if speed for local visitors is your top concern.

Managed vs unmanaged:

• Managed: Our team handles OS updates, security patches, monitoring, and backups. Our managed Cloud Starter plan (1 core, 2 GB RAM).
• Unmanaged: You get a raw server with no support. It costs less, but you do the admin work.

Best for:

• Growing traffic
• Resource-heavy apps
• Developers who need root access
• Agencies running several client sites

When shared is no longer enough:

• Traffic spikes slow or crash your site
• You need custom software
• You need higher performance

Developers also use VPS servers for automation.

Compare all options on our VPS hosting page.

4) Dedicated Server Costs

Dedicated servers start at ₨198,420.30.

The range looks like this:

• Entry: 4 cores and 8 threads at 3.5 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 2 x 480 GB SSD
• Top: 6 cores and 12 threads at 3.5 GHz, 64 GB RAM, 2 x 1 TB SSD

What you get:

• A full physical server
• Isolated resources
• Full root and admin control
• High performance

Best for:

• Large enterprise sites
• High-traffic platforms
• Complex applications
• Maximum security and isolation

A full server also means more to secure and maintain.

Scalability note: start lower and upgrade as needed. Most sites never need a dedicated server on day one.

Additional Setup & Ongoing Costs

Hosting is one line in your budget. Domains, security, and design add to it.

a) Domain Registration

• Typical range: PKR 800–4,000+ per year for .pk, .com.pk, and similar extensions.
• Promos: Truehost rates are often lower. Our hosting page mentions a free .pk domain on annual plans. Eligible extensions differ by plan, so confirm in the cart.
• The .pk two-year rule: PKNIC charges Pakistan-based registrants Rs. 1,800 per year, billed in two-year periods. That is why many registrars sell .pk in two-year blocks.

Check current domain prices on our PK domains page.

b) SSL Certificates

• Free SSL: Free automated SSL comes with our hosting plans.
• Paid certificates: Basic paid SSL starts from PKR 1,644 per year on our SSL page. Organization-validated, wildcard, and multi-domain options cost more.

Pay for SSL only if you need organization validation or many subdomains. Browse options on our SSL page.

c) Website Builders / All-in-One Tools

Our AI Website Builder is available. Our hosting plans also list a free website builder and free templates.

When a builder makes sense:

• You want a simple site live fast
• You don’t need custom features
• You prefer drag-and-drop editing

When WordPress or custom development fits better:

• You plan to publish lots of content
• You need SEO plugins or a full online store
• You need features a builder can’t handle

Other possible costs:

• Email upgrades
• Extra backups
• CDN
• Professional design and development (outside pure hosting)

Also check tax. Our hosting plan table lists prices excluding VAT.
