Hosting in India

I started thinking about hosting in india when we started the Mobshare project. 99% of the users in mobshare are from India, so performance for Indian users is very much important. If we host in India the latency can be reduced to 50ms from 300ms. Also we need not pay for the international bandwidth.

The first hurdle is Bandwidth itself. Its very costly and its not affordable right now to host the entire systems in India. A 3 Mbps line costs 13 lakhs per year right now.

The next thing is to get all the peering agreements in place. If Nixi becomes successful, we need not worry about that.

If the bandwidth costs comes down Ill definitely host mobshare in India.

The only advantage right now in India is the abundance of engineers here. There are soo many of them available. Mention the technology and you have got 100s of them here. Linux, windows, Cpanel, Plesk… name it and you have it.
