Rent to own servers in India?
Hello,
We are planning to start with some RTO servers in our Indian Datacenter. At best at this moment we would be able to offer 8 GB RAM with 500 SATA on a Quad Core. I wanted to know your opinion on the same and what pricing/specs would you be looking for considering BW in India is extremely expensive?
To be blunt, would really like to know if community is looking for such solution in India?
Thank you for reading.
EDIT:
Specifications are as follows:
CPU model : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz Number of cores : 4 CPU frequency : 2000.000 MHz
RAM - 8 GB
HDD - 500 GB SATA
RTO Term - 12 months
Price of Transport - as per Fedex(Global)
Colo after RTO period- $75
Service - Default unmanaged. 4 hour response time.
Customize - Limited to RAM and Harddisk
Comments
It will certainly depend upon many factors,like
Exact Specification, RTO term, Price of transport (Outside India as well, if included), After RTO colo price,
Services offerd, Customization available. Etc (Like your Companies internal policy).
Yeah, @MikeIn is on the ball; more details would be nice @cloudbells

Made changes in the main post.
This is already a quite old CPU from the year 2008.Why would anyone want to RTO it, how many more years life would it have?
Waste for some might be gold for others
This hardware makes no sense anymore (3500 CPU benchmark, TDP 95W), an i3-3210 beats it easily (3800 cpu bench) and costs less AND uses massively (like 50%) less power (TDP 55W).
An i3 system can be built entirely with your specs for under 300EUR, further you get DDR3 and a massively increased FSB.
On a side not Can you sell me a CPU only (Now)?
Better than Core2Duo, in one of my Old PC....
(Ignore)
Hmm! Maybe not that bad (if new and enterprise HDD) said that BW is still not cheap...
While in RTO price?
EDIT:
For many it would be imp Q., Can use as game server?
Case, PSU etc. 50EUR comes to a total of 282EUR including 20% Austrian VAT (225EUR without VAT).
Power usage of this config should be around 60W in full and 20W in idle - The Q9400 will use around 50W in idle and 110W in full.
A similar config can be built with a quadcore i5 (i5-3340, CPU bench 6100, TDP 77W) for merely 50EUR more.
I am aware of the pricing. My question is what cost would you be willing to pay(if at all) for a server with the configuration that I provided on a rent to own model?
Gaming server - allowed
New harddisk - yes
RTO price - not decided yet, would need your contribution on this.
Not enough to justify your power costs.
RTO can work! As other running it...
As the real expert @William is saying maybe a better new Config. Also latelly if you are thing of Colo at $75 RTO would be atleast few $30more (Expected). Total output: Tough (One reason is Price config wise)....
Ok, thank you for your feedback. $80-120 is the figure that we are looking at.
Honestly for me to consider I would want something a little higer spec'd.
Who much would you be wanting for RTO on the updated first post @cloudbells
Something to the tune of $80-120
IMHO no one will transfer from India when they could get the same hardware ( or better ) at around spending 200 extra. The only point of investing in this is its in India. The point of not investing in it is colo / buy pricing will F*** you up because Indian DC are hard to maintain costs are ridiculous ( being an Indian I know pretty well ) so suggest only people with that extra itch in the pocket consider this offer.
I think you should go for it. Indian customer base is huge and you dont need overseas customers to make it a success. $75 is nothing if you can host game servers or voice servers or may be vpn.
You think so ? , bandwidth is shit load costly we possily cant even run a C.S server without a ddos protection let alone a CS server need a min of 600 GB bandwidth up + down ( sometimes even more )
which dc ?
As per the latest TRAI regulations the bandwidth cost will be reduced by 70%. India is aiming at 5 billion dollar e-commerce industry by 2015. All the servers wont be deployed at EU or US. And if badnwidth price gets clashed by 70% 1 100mbps unmetered would cost around 1 lakhs per annum which is like 1500 usd per year and may be less And RTO option is after 1 year. So things will probably change for good.
I personally wouldn't pay a higher price for an RTO server in India than for a non-RTO server, because the hardware is not appealing at all. So maybe only guys from india should rate this, because shipping for them would be lower. I think fedexing that server to where i am is as expensive as buying williams configuration here.
Chill man!
I may be interested but I personally would want something a little higher spec.
IP(s) you think ip cost will be reduced given the allocations left on ARIN ?? IPv6 is a joke in our country no even there yet. Any comments about this then ?
Hmmm!
Upto 500 (Can expect lot less) players playing at 1-2 Mbps Connection (CS) Can be handled...
In India (At present) the avg speed with good data would not generally exceed 2-4Mbps(512Kbps)..
So hostile.
Some places offer a discount even today; and I agree IPv6 adoption is a joke for most non commercial applications anywhere.
Plus, You can target SME's in here... Other providers (except few) is not very cheap still.. some with old Xeon processors...
Get your facts right!
Leapswitch is getting by next week. You need some ?:)
@wych dude 1 IP costs $5 a /29 allocation after discount is 20 -_- . Now coming to DC point of view my friend has a xeon colo'ed at banglore @ 100$ per month for 500gb bandwidth /29 block.
That from DC or upstream?
