My intent here is not to be mean, but I don't think many are going to purchase from you again after what happened with your previous company.
Nothing bad happend really they got their money back its not like I ran away.
How long before you shut this venture down?
To be precise I haven't even started it
, I'm just doing my research.
Well after the last venture, I figure you may have an end date already set. Not to be mean (no pun intended) but it seems every week it's something new with you.
and don't get me wrong, more power to you if you are serious about this venture, but only if you are serious. I don't think your spray and pray technique is working too well at the moment. You are all over the place; focus on one thing, improve it, make your customers happy, then expand. Don't try to do so much at once as you'll crash and burn. There's my two cents.
Everybody makes mistakes I'm sure im a human being so I do make mistakes but I NEVER RUN AWAY . I've got enough patience to deal with flaming so yes I stick to what I want to do.
These are my thread dates http://prntscr.com/6exlja I think those aren't weekly.
I just don't understand something why is that you people hate me so much when I'm the one trying the hardest ? Even a few of my employers in LET whose names I'd not reveal say that I'm pushing too hard which in the end gets me into troubles and stuff I really dont get it. I always try to find a way to earn money in a LEGAL way with good intentions in mind , but still..... I don't know whats up with you guys.
Now in a few mins some mod is gonna come around and say this will be another drama so am closing the thread and boom....
That's your problem, you are all over the place. Focus on ONE thing at a time. Perfect it first, then move to the next venture. You have jumped around doing so many different things in such a short amount of time, I am not even sure what you are working on, what you are selling or who you represent. Every week it's something new!
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I think people would respect you more and flame you less if you would just focus on one thing at a time.
Thank you for suggestion around this time I'm just doing various market researches before I decide to stick to something I asked about what people want in cloud I got a good feedback and then I compared the pricing and probabilty of providing it to LETians but wasn't possible.
Then spent a week looking at almost all locations the providers have and I thought why not in my own country where I can handle the hardware and colo and fix things faster if anything goes wrong. Since usa and others places are already saturated.
But you did shut it down. Why should I consider you when there many other long-established companies that have a much longer track record of stable service without shutting down their companies?
Why would I sign up with a one-man shop with your track record?
"Hate" is too strong. Tired of you spamming in every thread trolling for business...yes.
128mb ram

I would not be remotely interested in that for the following reasons:
I can get 128MB/ 80GB disk / 500GB bandwidth for $15/year from an excellent provider (and similar from several) who offers ipv6. So you lose on specs.
Those providers have excellent reputations, excellent reviews, and an established track record. You do not.
I can get much better specs in many locations.
With ipv6, SSD, etc.
So given your reputation and those weak specs, what would I pay? Much, much less than $15/year. I don't personally have a need for a VPS that isn't from a rock solid provider, but if I did...well, you're providing 1/16th the disk and 1/50th the bandwidth so maybe $1/year. And I'm not joking.
India is a unique location, which is good, but I don't think you'd get a lot of people interested in it.
On top of that, bandwidth is pretty expensive down there, and 10GB bandwidth wont cut it for most people. At least give 50-100GB b/w.
You are missing the location mate.
So I did.
OK, $2/year. Maybe.
Thats a +ve feedback I'll keep it in mind.
Coming back to the OP question ...
For me bandwidth wouldn't be the priority (100 - 300 Mb/s would be OK). What I would look for is routing, multi-homed (and I don't mean a dirt cheap lousy pipe with some alibi bandwidth from a good carrier) and obviously latency.
I wouldn't even consider OVZ. So, only KVM or XEN
geo distribution. India could be a sweetspot is, however, a dark dump so far.

None. I wouldn't touch anything less than 256MB, 5GB (net), 250GB. I also wouldn't touch anything that doesn't offer plans between 256MB and 1GB at a minimum.
No IPv6 isn't dramatic but might turn ugly later.
But then I'm a "spoiled" European. Maybe things are very different in India and your product would take off well.
Thank you thats the kind of replies I was hoping. I hope more concerned and open minded people will come forward
What DC will this be in?
Well haven't decided but since its for LET maybe CTRLs in North India / Any Delhi DC I want to take tours then talk to the techs and depending on colo pricing I'll update.
Check out Netmagicsolutions Data Center at Delhi they are pretty solid !
As long as it's not your basement ...
@BharatB: don't have enough info, so can't speak to that one strike against you specifically. Starting a new business, one or even two strikes is pretty much par for the course. If at first you don't succeed... and all that jazz
With respect to your OP, @bsdguy voiced my thoughts exactly. A couple of things I'd add to that:
Let me comment on that location issue.
India has 2 landings, one around Bombay IIRC and the other one in the south east. And that's where my preference would be. The further inland the DC the more one might be in the hands of less competent local players.
Just saying.
@agoldek & @bsdguy thanks for the contribution
South-east one is Chennai, I believe, hence my suggestion.
And less than optimum connectivity. India's not exactly infrastructure rich. This said, Bangalore is one exception to this rule, I think. Lots of call centers and capacity which may, or may not translate to competitive pricing (depending on current supply and demand situation there). Worth a look, I think.
I think Flipkart and Myntra used them (before the merger). Not sure they still use the same DC.
I would be interested in a backup box if it's in Bangalore but then again people go for reputed backup providers.
@BharatB You work(ed) for @drserver, right? Saw in some thread somewhere. Anyway, I won't have any use of such low disk space or b/w boxes but that's just me. Anyway as people have said show some stability and polish. Take the +ve feedbacks and don't worry about flamers. (Trying to find really cheap servers with good disk space I was called "begging for free VPS" by a jerk but then there were people who actually helped). Good luck!
@BharatB are you sz1 !? stop trolling please
i got bored seeing threads like this
Dont see then its that simple
Queue DDOS in 5 .. 4 ..
BharatB really needs to work on his random troll offers that don't meet the OPs requirements.. it was said above but I'll say it again it's annoying..
Anyways any more feedbacks pending ? I'd like to close the thread soon if no one else has opinions .
What would this forum be without our CurtisG/SZ1/BharatB?
