India Broadband

Admin

To start with let me tell you web hosting is nearly nonexistent in India and I am not talking about the resellers who are from India but sell hosting in servers in US.

There are a very few companies which provide web hosting in India. The main reason being low prices of US competitors and at the moment it doesn’t look like this is going to change in the near future. The main problem with starting a hosting business in India and setting up a data center is the government of India which just doesn’t know how to keep up with the technological advances the world is making. I would be the firt one to set up a small data center some where near new Delhi if the govt becomes a bit reasonable with the licensing and stuff and does away with this stupid pornography laws. The day government of India wakes up from its long sleep and makes porn legal it will give such a huge boost to the economy given the potential of web hosting business which is driving force behind the Texas state's development in US and its all due to the favorable government policies and cheap bandwidth.

Some of you would say whats allowing porn got to do with web hosting, well porn industry constitutes a major chunk of internet traffic and if porn site hosting is not allowed by the government in India that business is lost straight away so demand decreases even before I start up my web hosting business and that kind of brings and end to the plan as according to some estimates more then 50% traffic is adult traffic and if India chooses to turn a blind eye to it then it wont take many guesses to find out who is loosing out.

nice thoughts.

wherever i enquired abt indian hosting i found they are just resellers not the

indian hosting companies.

DataHost

Hosting in India is costly mainly because of the Bandwidth Costs and non availablility of high speeds (compared to other countries).
And yes.. all the hosting businesses that operate own Dedicated Boxes/VPS/Reseller accounts from Offshore companies!

Speed

The main thing is that high speed internet connections are required which are not available for cheap prices in India and more over in some places you would also have electric problem. So these are the two main drop backs.

MyWay

Starting a hosting company in India at this time is of no profit but may be some losses game. You need cheap internet connection which is the baic requirement to set up a hosting serivice in India and it is not possible to get a good bandwith connection in India for cheap price.

Right now getting into webhosting business in India is not a good business deal. It would be nice to get with Reseller packages for now.

goodwithdas

Right now there are so many companies providing web hosting services in india.To name some are rediffmail , manashosting , net4india etc.Manashosting , net4india these two companies are providing very good services to all their customers,

Admin no matter what happen i am sure about one thing and i.e our government is not going to allow porn hosting.

funninfo

And thats the right decission. Theres lot other areas which can generate large traffic. Online and B2B in India has high potentials and very large market to tape. Allowing "porn" can never be catalyst.
