Budget VPS located in India
Looking for openvz container with minimum specs.. mainly used as a storage container for transferring files. no heavy cpu lifting/ Ram requirement. 10-15gb space, 100gb or similar bandwidth, dedicated ip...
No particular specs in mind. Best / cheapest which you can offer.

leapswitch comes to mind.

yes, Leapswitch is good. I have a KVM with them from last 6 months and is very stable ..
Wish Leapswitch was Gbit, so I could give it a try.
Leapswitch provide kvm or not?
@praveen what's theire ip range? any review?
Yes they do. Test IP is 103.12.211.1
What praveen said is a review.
Traffic in India is very expensive dunno why many cables are around.
Does anyone have a link to a serious study on why asian traffic is so expensive ?
+1 for leapswitch from me too.
I believe it's a relatively easy answer - less competition.
birocrazy needs more moneyz in indonesia. corruptor everywhere
Romania has corruption too, and it is the state monopoly in late 90's and early 2000 that drove people to create own nets spanning square kilometers of 10 stories blocks of flats out of which the current generation of IT people emerged.
We always understood the importance of being connected and now, in a couple of weeks, I hope, my 1 gbps line at 15 dollars will arrive.
Necessity is the matter of learning and i hope new kinds of nets, mesh type, will go across towns creating a completely different cyberpunk counter-culture and spawning the revolutions of tomorrow.
The Govt. rules regarding telecom sector is too odd in India.
And not yet very clear.
Entry in such a sector is no more easy and also costs a lot in the name of taking licenses.
There are few provider which has a slightly better plans like
50Mbps for $40-50, with a FDU policy to 100, 200 GB then the speed gets decreased to about 10%.
But most the providers are like 10GB 3G for $15-20.
Almost all plans are either having (No so good) FDU or limited in starting 2 digit GB's
eh?
Selling VPS in India requires no licensing at all, neither does running an ASN and own IP space.
@leapswitch: thanks. Anything in low resources? I just need to use this VPS as a way to transfer/ store files. No heavy processing...Can you carve up a custom one for $1-$2 a month?
That is exactly the problem with indian vpses, the traffic.
That is what costs a lot there and I think IPs are not free either since APNIC run out of them long time ago.
1-2 a month is probably impossible, no matter how low the resources.
IPv6-only maybe could have been possible... but I am checking this http://bgp.he.net/AS132335 almost every day, still no IPv6 on leapswitch.
As an Indian customer, I prefer to buy my dedicated from OVH/Online.net in France, and VPSes from Iniz in Europe, and Serverian in US for the same reason.
TATA has it and they say it will take a few weeks.
OTOH Incero promised it for weeks, still nothing.
Sorry the lowest we can do is $36/year for the 512 MB RAM OVZ.
Yes, Network, ips and power cost is high here.
Indeed. We will probably never see this in India.
We have a /48 since September. TATA setup the session last week and we should have everything up and running in next 5-10 days.
If all goes well, it should be available this week.
Why India?
1 bn+ population ? One day will have asian connectivity ? Why not ?
+1. Without being a bandwidth hub, it is a market in itself.
@leapswitch: what do you mean by: "Without being a bandwidth hub..."?
Its not really a bandwidth hub like Singapore, Amsterdam, London etc. Only 2 carriers (TATA and Airtel) bring 95% of the cables to India. That will probably change soon and we may see a lot of international carriers in India in 2014.
And then again we may not.. what with all the scams in the telecom sector, the government may feel it judicious to tread carefully in deep waters.
Gigabit internet, where are you?
