Domain Name and Web Hosting in India!

[TheAliveWinner]

Hey guys! Please help me...
Please only answer if you live in India or have ample knowledge about what I am asking...
I am from India and I am building a website for a local school. It is a simple website of a small school and too much traffic is not expected!
I want to buy a domain (a cheap one)...
I checked the website of 'http://www.brainpulse.com'. It is providing me a domain name with '.in' extension @Rs.149/year. I am o.k. with the domain name.
Shall I go for it?
Another thing is that shall I buy a web hosting plan or else use a free one?
I have used 'http://www.**********.com' earlier and it works fine.
Shall I go for it?

Please feel free to give advice/suggestion of any kind related to the matter!
I am a newbie...
Please help me!!!

Hi,
As per my opinion you should go for the paid one as you are developing a site for school. It's an organisation so it needs full control over its hosting. The free hosting plans never give you the full control in your hands so you are bound to limited functionalities such as space and technology used.
hope this will help you to come out of your confusion.

Can you name some domain name providers and web hosting providers in India?

After browsing their website I've found that they are offering many services, including hosting services as well. So as you are OK with the domain name price they offered to you then what stopping you to buy a hosting service from them?
