Asia dedicated server recommendations required
Hi All
I am looking for a dedicated server in Asia with good peering to India since majority of our visitors are from India. This is for serving an ecommerce website running on Magento. I have an online.net special which I thought to use however there speeds to India are terrible- could barely reach 3MB/s download speed from digital ocean Bangalore which puts it off the list. Also tried testing them using leapswitch at Pune and the results were similar.
I've checked various Indian providers and it is best for us to host in India however these requirements specially bandwidth would cost too much in India. I have already checked Leaseweb sg, OVH sg.
Recommended specifications are E3,16 GB,1 TB SATA or SSD drives, 1 TB bandwidth should be sufficient.The provider should have good speeds to India.
Budget- $50-60
I've read reviews about online network not being good in Asia however should I consider contacting them to improve the routing in this particular case? The server I have is LT 1701.1 which is bang for the buck so I'm reluctant to let it go
Edit- The provider shouldn't be essentially located in Asia, they should just have good network in India.

Tagging @randvegeta. Not sure if he's in your pricerange though.
Thanks,replied.
Can do this in India if you can increase your budget a bit.
Sent you PM
Might be able to do a server in HK. Not sure how good the connection is. Is it bandwidth or latency you need to be good? Or both?
I can spin up a VPS for testing if you like.

Leapswitch is in Pune and should have something in budget, with BW needed, especially if Indian only.
Thanks,already in touch with them. The server doesn't necessarily need to be in India, it can be US based as well, but with good connectivity to India. Any recommendations? I will be checking clouvider shortly.
OVH SG still seems to have issues with routing. Spun a droplet on DO Bangalore location and the traffic goes all the way from France to Singapore.
Clouvider should be good for you.
Just wondering, it's UK based hosting company, how come it would be good to India?

Cos as the OP said, he is looking for good connectivity to India. I am in India and I have server with many providers in UK, EU, US (East cost, West coast, Central) and out of those, the one I have with @clouvider has the best ping and downloads to my location. Heck for my location (a prominent one in India), I get better download speed from Clouvider DC than even Hostdime (London).
So yeah, that was not a baseless recommendation.
@Junkless very happy it works so well for you :-).
We invest a lot in our network to make sure, it's so great to see this pay off in Customer Satisfaction :-)!
I often get best pings to ultravps.eu AMS location, and liteserver NL.

Also worth testing Hetzner bandwidth
Thanks, I'll test them
The speeds are great indeed, tested from DO and leapswitch in India.
Tested Heztner from DO and leapswitch.

Edit- Second test gave satisfying results.

Let it run for 10-15% for tcp window scaling to work.
