Is 100mbps enough?

in General
I am looking for a good dedicated/VPS in any Indian location but most of them are 100mbps shared ports, I plan on installing cPanel/DirectAdmin and hosting many clients on one server. But almost everyone I talk to said we provide 100mbps shared port only.
Is that enough to host a lot of clients with medium blogs, business sites...?
Also, let me know if anyone know if there are any good providers with Indian locations (Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, or any Indian location really).
Someone experienced care to shed some knowledge?
Thanks a lot.

if you plan on using a CDN for anything static it might work..
How many page views per day and how big pages are?
Should be enough for small sites... but the problem may appear when it's time to take backups or you get abusers.
100 Mbps is never enough.
If my app operates at 100 Mbps only, I would be fired.
I need at least 10 Gbps and up to 200 Gbps.
I ran a media server from a 100Mbps server. Maximum 5 concurrent users streaming up to 1080p. Never had any issues related to bandwidth.
Bandwidth in terms of this environment is meant more in terms of capacity.
If your website(s) are 10mb (1.25MB) then at most you can have 10 people accessing those website(s) at the same time at full speed.
If your website(s) are 1mb (125KB) then at most you can have 100 people accessing those website(s) at the same time at full speed.
But even at these sizes, the first visitors will likely finish loading the website before the last one does so slots are constantly opening and closing. And even if you are over capacity, it just means that not all will get full speed.
Where you'll really run into issues is download or uploading full backups - again depending on how large the backups are.
If you have large file downloads on these websites then that's going to be affected by this as well.
The longer a connection has to hang on to a "slot" (i.e. the larger the file or files being downloaded) the longer the server's going to go without having full speed capacity at it's disposal.
So yea, it depends. 100mbps is probably enough. 1gbps would be better.
Hey, no, the joke's on you!
Grats on your 6992th post.
Not an issue. You can run your server without any issue.
One my sites is on a contabo VPS 200mbps. It almost never happened that visitors are held back by the slow speed. But the ones held back are usually us, admins, it is a bit slow for back up, installing wordpress plugins, OS updates, etc, but given the small size of the site it remains very bearable.
I should mention, it is 1 blog, small size, no videos (usually), a lot of pictures. I don't think our VPS Would be suitable to handle a lot of sites, and specially not "clients"/important things with 100mbps shared.
Good luck.
So what? Don't fall victim to the numbers porn crowd with everyone and his dog feeling to "need" 1 Gb/s minimum.
I've run quite some sites, some of which were by no means small, on 100 Mb/s VPSs.
If that's the case then that market doesn't expect more and you won't be perceived as slow with a 100 Mb/s connection.
That said, unless India and the region around it is your target market (~ where your clients' clients live) you shouldn't run your server there.
See above. Plus, I know quite some businesses not actually needing more than 100 Mb/s here in Europe. And again: don't carry NA or EU rulers over to India. Their market is the ruler to use and that market seems to be used to low bandwidth.
Depends on how many requests/sec you get and how big your payload avg is. For small rps like < 100 it should be fine for non-media heavy sites.
You can't go wrong with Linode/Digitalocean. @Leapswitch also promotes here. Maybe ask them.
Start with 100Mbps, if you need more, upgrade.
VPS providers in India:
1. Linode in Mumbai
2. DigitalOcean in Bengaluru
3. PhotonVPS (Psychz) in Mumbai
4. LeapSwitch (@leapswitch) in Mumbai
5. Amazon Lightsail in multiple locations.
Not yet arrived, but definitely coming in the near future:
- OVHcloud said last week in EcoEx that they are coming to Mumbai in 2022.
- Vultr registered their Vultr India Pvt. Ltd. last month, so they might also be arriving in Mumbai, India in the very near future.
Shared with a shitload of people on a cpanel server?
is 300PB bandwidth is enough?
Depending on the type and volume of your business, can you guess what kind of business this is?
I know, insane, right?
My company is hosting a few hundred vps's along with some shared servers and dedicated servers and all total they average about 80 to 100 mbps.
I think 100 mbps fits the most requirements
- we're running 100 LXC Servers on a Hostsystems and the whole system is average using 200-300 mbps permanently 
100mbps = 12.5MB/s
Under 100 times access per second is OK.
