Looking to purchase Hardware and collocate in India, Mumbai
Hello,
This post is completely irrelevant to the RTO/LTO post I've made.
I'd like to know if any company here is offering hardware here which I could purchase and collocate in Mumbai. If collocating doesn't work then at least I'd like to get the hardware first and I could take care of the collocating arrangement elsewhere but ya.
I'm just looking, nothing serious.
Maybe something like a 256 or a 512GB Ram ddr4, x1-2 SSD
Any CPU that comes up above 2500 Single thread rating on https://www.cpubenchmark.net
I'm new to this so do let me know on the details or anything, do know that I just started looking so nothing serious. I'd just like to get on the details for now. Possibly will proceed in 2-3 months if I find the arrangement suitable.
Main purpose is to provide Game Hosting on it or might change my mind to providing VPS Plans on it.
Bandwidth wise I was recommended to look for 1gbps unmetered but I have an idea that bandwidth is usually expensive in India so do let me know on what could be possible for a smaller budget.
Thank you.

Reach out to @LukeRhino , they have good hardware deals.
They'll ship it from US tho, so might have to sort out customs by yourself.
For colo, maybe checkout leapswitch or readydedis or web werks india directly.
Server grade hardware is costly in India, and i mean it.
Thanks for the info,
Any general idea on how much Shipping normally costs when shipping it out of country?
Yup I can totally understand, just seeing what people can offer here.
@HostDZire
Why not build one by yourself? I mean I am in the middle of building one as well, I am going with dual e5-2650v4 for my home lab, i am looking for 2400mt ddr4 ecc ram modules but seems like I can't find them locally for cheap, might need to hit NCR for this one, the chassis is also cheap, now the one part that makes me anxious is power supply, I think I will go with 80+ gold 750w at least as this is gonna be a homelab i don't need any redundancy for power supply. SSD will be gen3 nvme in raid 1 along with some consumer grade HDDs in raid 10 .
I host 4 dedicated server in my living room/hall at Bengaluru, with 2 x 800 W online UPS, with FAN mods, Thermal paste, powered by Local ISP Brandband, I start/stop them using iLO and iDRAC. These servers used for data research, data pipeline, data lake, ML workloads for research purpose.
@ArrowBoi, share your finding, I bought my servers from OLX , they are DDR3, Xeon 24xx CPUs, bought used HDD, RAMs, accumulated about 800 GB RAM, 20 TB HDDs. I wish to upgrade to DDR4 as well, reduce to 2 servers.
If you are able to find cheap ddr4 modules please ping me as well especially if they are 2400mt 2Rx4 and 2Rx8. I am curious about used HDD care to share more with us?
just in olx posting, you may find SAS/or old HDD sold by some sys admin folks, not sure how they procure them, I bought, 5 x 4 TB, SATA, Enterprise grade, 3 x HDD are zero bad sector, 2 x had about 5 and 13 bad sectors. Overall works, I paid like INR 2500 for each, 5 years ago.
Damn that's truly a value for money. Maybe I should start stalking olx as well.
I wish a colocation offers in Bangalore, about 6K to 7K for two servers together, 1 gbps speed, max of 5 TB bandwidth, typically 10 to 15 days, 8 hours is what these servers are used most, rest of the time, they will be IDLEing. I offer big data courses, these servers would be useful reducing my VM costs , I take for each students for course. Open for co-location space as well in Bangalore/Chennai.
If Kochi, Kerala (around 15ms away from Bangalore) works for you
Single Server 1U One IP
24x7x365 Access
Shared Rack Space
Location: Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi
Rs.4500/month

OR

You can probably get a discount for 2 servers using the enquiry form.
Just curious, can you post photos of your current server room?
You got OLX in India too?
Yeah and mostly scammers running wild there can't compare to ebay when it was alive here.
Any providers here providing colocation in india?
