WordPress.org costs nothing to download. That fact has launched a thousand “free website” sales pitches. In India you still pay for a domain, hosting, a theme if you buy one, plugin renewals, and the hours to make the site look like your company instead of a demo.

Last reviewed: September 2026. Numbers below are buckets so you can read a quote, not NP SoftTech packages and not a national survey. The broader site-cost piece is business website cost in India.

Quick answer

Budget domain plus WordPress-friendly hosting every year, then a one-time build that matches the page list, then a small update line. DIY on a builder-style WordPress theme is the cheap end. A designed site with WooCommerce is not that end.

WordPress cost lines: hosting, theme, plugins and build
The download is free. The useful site is a project.
Line What to expect
Domain Yearly registrar fee. Check the live price.
Hosting Shared is the usual start. Confirm Hostinger or another host today.
Theme Free, paid, or custom. Paid themes have their own licences.
Plugins Some free. Many good ones bill yearly.
Build The wide range. Page count and WooCommerce move it.
Updates Core, theme and plugins. Someone must click them.

NP SoftTech is an official Hostinger partner. Hosting offers: domain and hosting and our partner URL. We will not paste Hostinger’s current rupee plan here.

Illustrative build buckets

You install a theme. Cheap in cash, expensive in your weekends.

Someone sets up a clean theme and your pages. A typical small-business project. Still not a custom product.

Designed WordPress site. Unique layout, care on mobile, a real sitemap.

WooCommerce. Treat it as a shop: payments, shipping, updates. Compare mentally with Shopify store cost, not with a brochure.

How to read two quotes

Count pages. Ask which plugins are included and who renews them. Ask whose Hostinger account you land on. Ask how updates work after month three. Stack choice: WordPress vs custom and WordPress vs Shopify.
