Web hosting plans for Sri Lanka

Three shared hosting plans, all on SSD storage with free SSL, business email and backup tools. Most people in Sri Lanka buy hosting by the year, so yearly prices show first; switch to monthly if you would rather not pay up front.

On every plan

Everything included

The same eight things come with every plan, whether you run a surf guesthouse in Weligama, a tea exporter's site in Kandy or an online shop from Colombo 3. Nothing on this list is a paid add-on.

Pure SSD storage

Every site sits on solid-state disks on servers we do not oversell, so pages and databases stay quick under load.

Unlimited bandwidth

No traffic meter and no surprise bill when the tourist season or an Avurudu sale brings a rush of visitors.

Easy control panel

Manage files, databases, email, domains and PHP versions from one web panel. No command line needed.

Free SSL

A Let's Encrypt certificate is issued for every domain automatically and renews itself, so the padlock never lapses.

Free India CDN

Your site is cached on our node in Mumbai, so visitors in India get pages in about 0.3 s instead of 2 s and images up to 6× faster. Included free on every plan, nothing to configure.

Backup tools

Take a full backup of files, databases and email from the panel whenever you like and download it to keep.

Business email

Mailboxes on your own domain, such as bookings@yourvilla.lk, with webmail, IMAP and spam filtering.

One-click WordPress

Install WordPress from the panel in one click, then add WooCommerce from the WordPress dashboard.

Free migration

Send us your old host's login and we move the site, database and email across at no cost.

Why HostKarle

Why Sri Lankan businesses choose HostKarle

We are a small hosting company that has run servers since 2016. We are not a Sri Lankan company, and we say so plainly. What we offer customers in Colombo, Kandy, Galle, Negombo, Jaffna and Kurunegala is a lot more space for the money, a price that does not jump at renewal, and a person who answers.

70 GB, not 1 GB

Typical Sri Lankan starter plans give you 500 MB to 1 GB. Our Basic plan gives you 70 GB of SSD for less than most of them charge, so photo galleries, menus and product images are never a worry.

Priced in LKR, renews the same

Every price on this page is shown in rupees, and the dollar price behind it does not rise at renewal. What you pay this year is what you pay next year.

Same clock as Sri Lanka

Our team works on UTC+5:30, exactly Sri Lanka time. Open a ticket during your working day and you reach people who are awake and at work too. Tickets are answered 10 AM to 10 PM IST; you can open one anytime, and replies after 10 PM are slower.

Pay with your bank card

Checkout takes Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards from Sri Lankan banks, once online international payments are switched on for the card. No bank deposit slips to send.

Free move from LankaHost or WebHost.lk

Leaving LankaHost, WebHost.lk, Zircon Host, Hosthere.lk or another Sri Lankan host? We copy your site, database and mailboxes for free and switch over when you are ready.

Built for tourism businesses

Villas, guesthouses, tour operators and Ayurveda retreats in Galle, Ella, Kandy and along the south coast run WordPress booking sites happily on Basic or Professional.

Domains

.lk domains and DNS

Hosting for a .lk domain works the same as for any other name. We do not sell .lk ourselves: .lk and .com.lk names are issued by the LK Domain Registry (nic.lk) and its accredited domain agents. Keep your .lk where it is and point it to us, or register a .com, .net or .org here in the same checkout as your hosting.

Already have a .lk?

Log in to the LK Domain Registry or your .lk agent's panel and set the nameservers to ns1.fastnsdns.com and ns2.fastnsdns.com. Most changes go live within a few hours.

Rather we did it?

Send us the registry login in a ticket and we change the nameservers and set up the site, SSL and email for you.

Keep email on your .lk

Once the domain points to us, create mailboxes like info@yourcompany.lk in the panel. Business email hosting is included on every plan.

A .com is about LKR 4,344 a year (US$13.19, charged in dollars at checkout). For comparison, WebHost.lk lists a .com at Rs. 5,800 a year.

Sri Lanka hosting FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Open a ticket for technical help. For sales and billing, message us on WhatsApp at +91 94343 44325.

How much does web hosting cost in Sri Lanka?

Most Sri Lankan hosts sell a 1 GB starter plan for about LKR 4,900 to LKR 6,000 a year, and the very cheapest plans with 500 MB of space start around LKR 1,500 to LKR 2,000 a year. HostKarle's Basic plan is about LKR 4,443 a year (LKR 370 a month) with 70 GB of SSD storage, about LKR 557 if you pay month by month, or about LKR 6,583 for three years. It renews at the same price.

How can I pay from Sri Lanka?

Pay online with a Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card that is enabled for international online payments, which most Sri Lankan banks allow on request. The checkout charges US dollars; the rupee figures on this page are the dollar price at US$1 = LKR 329.32, the rate on 24 September 2026, so your bank statement may differ slightly. We do not take LKR bank deposits, Koko, FriMi or other local wallets yet.

Can I use a .lk domain with HostKarle?

Yes. We do not sell .lk domains ourselves; they are issued by the LK Domain Registry and its accredited agents. Keep your .lk where you bought it and set its nameservers to ns1.fastnsdns.com and ns2.fastnsdns.com, or send us the registry login and we will do it for you. Your site, free SSL and email then run on HostKarle.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes, for 2 days. Ask within 48 hours of your first purchase and we refund the hosting fee in full. After that, refunds are only given for a prolonged outage on our side, and domains are never refundable. Many Sri Lankan hosts offer 30 days, so do your testing in those first two days.

Can you move my site from my current Sri Lankan host for free?

Yes. Whether you are with LankaHost, WebHost.lk, Zircon Host, Hosthere.lk or anyone else, send us your cPanel or DirectAdmin login and we copy the website, databases and mailboxes at no charge. Your old site stays live until you change the nameservers, so there is no downtime.

Which plan is best for a small business website in Sri Lanka?

For one business website with email, Basic is enough: 70 GB of storage, free SSL and 10 mailboxes for about LKR 4,443 a year. If you run a shop plus a blog, or build sites for clients, Professional hosts 10 websites for about LKR 6,748 a year.

Is this good for WordPress and WooCommerce?

Yes. WordPress installs from the control panel in one click, and every plan runs recent PHP versions with free SSL. Hotels, guesthouses and shops across Sri Lanka use WordPress with a booking or WooCommerce plugin on plans like these.

What hours is support open for Sri Lanka?

Tickets are answered 10 AM to 10 PM IST; you can open one anytime, and replies after 10 PM are slower. Sri Lanka and our team share the same clock, UTC+5:30, so a WhatsApp message at 10 a.m. in Colombo arrives at 10 a.m. for us too. WhatsApp: +91 94343 44325.
