1. The renewal price
Introductory prices end. On the day of writing, GoDaddy Pro Light went from ₹468 for the first year to about ₹948 a year after, and Hostinger Mail Standard from ₹49 to ₹119 a month. Budget for the renewal, not the offer.
COMPAREDaakiaa vs GoDaddy and Hostinger email
A GoDaddy and Hostinger email alternative, without the renewal surprise
Email bundled with your domain or hosting often starts at ₹29 or ₹39 a month, then costs two or three times as much when it renews. Daakiaa gives you business email on your own domain with a free plan for up to 3 mailboxes, and paid plans from ₹129 a month at the same list price every time you renew.

Before you buy
Four things to check in any cheap email offer
2. How long you pay for upfront
Hostinger's lowest prices need a 48-month term paid in advance: four years of email paid today, for people you may not employ in four years. Daakiaa can be paid month by month.
3. Storage for the price
Small mailboxes fill up with quotes, invoices and photos. Compare the price of the size you will need in two years, not the smallest plan.
4. What comes with the mailbox
Every Daakiaa plan includes a calendar, tasks, team chat, video meetings and file storage, plus passkeys and spam protection. Check what each offer includes before you compare prices.
Fair to say
When GoDaddy or Hostinger email is a good fit
If you want the lowest possible price for one or two small mailboxes, and you are happy to pay for several years upfront, Hostinger's introductory prices are hard to beat. If your website and domain are already there and you only need basic email, staying can be the simplest choice.

Questions
GoDaddy and Hostinger email vs Daakiaa: FAQ
Can I keep my domain at GoDaddy or Hostinger and use Daakiaa for email?
Yes. Your domain stays where it is. You only change the mail records (MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC) in its DNS settings, and Daakiaa shows exactly which ones.
Will my website keep working when I move my email?
Yes. The website uses different DNS records, which you leave as they are. Only the mail records change, so the website and email are independent.
How do I move my old mail from Titan, GoDaddy or Hostinger?
Daakiaa's built-in import copies every folder and message over IMAP, including attachments. Your old mailbox stays untouched until you decide to close it.
Is Daakiaa cheaper than GoDaddy email?
In the first year, GoDaddy's introductory prices are lower. For a 30 GB mailbox after renewal, GoDaddy Pro Plus showed about ₹1,788 a year, while Daakiaa Starter (30 GB) is ₹1,419 a year when paid yearly, or ₹129 a month with no yearly commitment. Daakiaa's list price is the same when you renew.
Is Hostinger cheaper than Daakiaa?
If you pay for 48 months upfront, Hostinger's introductory prices are lower than Daakiaa's, and for small mailboxes that can be the cheapest choice. After the term they rise (for example ₹49 to ₹119 a month for 20 GB). Daakiaa lets you pay monthly, and has a free plan for up to 3 mailboxes.
Do these prices include GST?
Daakiaa's and Hostinger's prices are before GST; GoDaddy's page did not say. Check each provider's checkout for the final amount.
