Bandwidth is expensive thats why Pricing for Asian Servers are high..
Singapore, Pakistan or India - Many Asian Countries servers pricing are high as compare to rest of the world VPS just because of bandwidth...
Hosting on an India server means that you would be paying slightly more than you would pay with US hosting.
This is because low bandwidth costs higher, for instance, the cost of broadband and cable is India costs higher as opposed to the US this is partially due to the fact that the infrastructure is expensive in India.
Its still rate to find hosts with true 1 Gbps Uplinks and if they do the Bandwidth is really far far less that you can expect.
I dont even see vps offerings in Pakistan. The infrastructure here is not upto the mark.
Was just checking Azure pricing, It seems there is almost 60% higher for asia regions
Asia ---- $0.0875 per GB
America --- $0.12 per GB
you can choose a server from Singapore or Germany you get a good ping for Indian visitors
OBHost offering VPS Services in Pakistan (Karachi City and Multan City)..
check digital digitalocean they provide in multiple locations in India.
In general internet is expensive in India.
i used to pay Rs.2000 (around $50 that time) in 2010 for 1-2mbps speed,
then beam (now called ACT) started offering 10mbps for Rs. 1000 which is like a dream for many people.
now same company offers me 150mbps speed and 2000GB bw per month for same amount i.e. they keep adding more speed and bw for free.
i pay around $17/m for it....now you compare prices in other countries...
Jio Fiber offers 150Mbps unlimited for $13usd/mo. Plus you get an entire IPv6 range for every separate device connected to your network. Why don't you just make a switch?
You think India is expansive?
I got a 1u colocation offer with 100mbps unmetered in Saudia Arabia for just 6799$.
Seriously???? Is that USD? I want to vomit even looking at that number haha. They must be making bank.
If these are true numbers: https://ksaexpats.com/saudi-arabia-fiber-optic-fixed-line-internet-packages-prices-dec-2018/
You can literally rent out part of a warehouse and multiple 100mbps connections to that for a fraction of the cost. Of course, then you'd need to figure out if they support BGP sessions so you are multi-homed, etc. etc. but $6800 is insane.
@lentro you seem quite knowledgeable about transit costs and warehouse costs in Saudi arabia
Apologies if I seemed a bit arrogant. I'm actually trying to do something v similar in the US to host a bunch of GPUs with immersion cooling (which I haven't found any DC has) in the next few years, so I ported over my assumptions there. Still, $6799 is insane though. That's 100x the cost of a US counterpart (if you know where to look).
haha no not without a licence issued by government for censored telecommunications service licence or you will be "removed "
Gotcha. Interesting. Thanks!
Reminds me of this:
If you compare India with Europe and US, then yes, they have highly developed networking conditions
However it’s not the case when it comes to other parts of the world.
It's not expensive if you consider what you get for $5 at Linode Mumbai
with that pay, you buy too many racks in india.
Bandwidth is cheapest in Europe and US thats why servers are affordable there.
Asia pricing for bandwidth is high if compare with Europe and US.. & MENA region has alot of internet policies thats why servers are too expensive in MENA region..
but some provider provide VPS at a good price in India and Asia region.
Not available in our colony yet and looks like they reduced prices a lot these days.
Too bad the IPv6 addresses aren't static. Rather, the default gateway IP also changes, so dunno if this is useful at all.
I'm unable to setup the Cloudflare DDNS service for my dynamic IPv6, if anyone has experience with that, please let me know.
Did you try asking for static ip? some providers like ACT offer at Rs.300/m.
and in general (my observation) if you don't reboot/turnoff router...you will be having same ip for many days/months.
I did, they said no for that. However, the internet has been quite stable for me.
TataSky broadband offers free static IPv6, which I used for 2+ years. However, the router/ONT combo they provided was VERY BAD, and it used to drop the wireless connection every 30 mins.
I had signed up for the free 1 month trial with Jio in November last year just for kicks, and ended up staying with them.
Airtel does provide a static IPv4 for 99+GST.
Edit: Yes, the IP stays same for 2-3 days maybe, but not really reliable since I stay out of town a lot, and can't change IP address settings remotely.
Ohhhh... in my case, i don't restart my router for days and i observed my ip stays same even after short reboots. YMMV

Can we use Jio Fiber for Web hosting purpose?. How to get a static IP address ?.
for static just use netlify/vercel or new CF pages (beta)
contact them directly for static.
