November 8th, 2007 — Hosting, MobMe
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.

Mobshare, our multimedia sharing network, will start using DNS rotation soon. With the current user growth and traffic, the server loads are expected to shoot up in 2 months time. By that time we will be setting up 5 servers. 3 servers are to serve http requests, 1 server will be database server and the other one for format conversion and processor intensive calculations. Activity calculations eat up processing power.
The decision to move all the content to amazon servers has proven to be successful. My friend from Botswana was very much impressed with speed of content delivery. Does Amazon have a datacenter in Africa ?

Mobshare is now using Amazon S3 storage for serving all the media uploaded by the users. The decision to move to Amazon happened after a server performance issue. A local daily featured Mobshare and our server couldn’t handle the load and the performance degraded. We lost a lot of new registrations that day because many couldnt sign up as the pages were loading very slow.
Amazon S3 was a easy option to offload the media. After switching to Amazon the server performance has gone up. But then again, Amazon is not a viable option in the long term. The threshold is 300Gb storage, when the amazon costs start exceeding the cost of dedicated content servers.
The future Mobshare will see dedicated content servers hosted in India.
