I'd agree with most of the comments in this thread that 1) Although India is an uncommon location, it doesn't provide any significant benefit to users outside of India, and 2) The cost would have to be very low to entice me to buy one given that there are better deals from more established providers in locations with better bandwidth mixtures.
If you can provide service in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Sealand I'd be interested
@bharatb : for personal usage: dual-homed network, kvm virtualization, 256-384mb ram, vnc iso installation option, 1 dedicated ipv4, 100G transfer.
+Proactive I/O abuse monitoring to ensure every guest has at least 150 IOPS available at all times.
For Indian SMB market :
If you can setup something like Remus on Xen for individual host failover, there are a lot of small bootstrapping Internet businesses that would find that attractive. (not everyone is funded by rich VCs)
You can sell this product line at a premium if you get it working and well-tested.
Caveat: do your own market research as well on places like hackerstreet.in and related Indian startup forums. Canvas/network at 'rootconf 2015' when ticket registrations open.
A lot of infrastructure/devops staffers from Indian companies will be in attendance.
Hope you can match vstoike's pricing for us LET-ers when starting out.
That makes little difference here, many will already be fixated on their feuds. As long as they can be first in with the cheap shots and pick up some "likes", they'll be content with themselves.
@BharatB managed the wind down of his previous operation better than most. Best of luck to him with any future endeavours.
While I agree with everything you said here from all the threads concerning this, I think the reason people continue to bash him may be because he makes himself an easy target by spamming every thread on LET with an "offer", whether it be related or not. When confronted about it, his usual response is something like "i was not offering, i was just asking" or something similar instead of fixing the problem and trying to build his new name as a reputable provider who learned from his mistakes.
LET needs to look at adding this rule...
The problem with LET, nobody gets a second chance.
That's bollocks, quite frankly my dear.
Paha, you've got to be kidding. LET are the most critical bunch of people I've seen on this ol' tinternet for a while. As soon as you've done something slightly wrong you are ruined forever.
Completely untrue. Tons of people were given second chances, including the likes of CurtisG, SZ1 ( he had so many second chances I l've lost count), even MrB was commended for the way he shut things down before. It's his behaviour since then that's the issue, reselling servers at a 100% markup without additional value and spamming up threads.
The vast majority here are actually quite reasonable people, they're just vocal when people come here to take a steaming dump on them.
GVH had so many chances before its gone for good.
Actually i think it's quite OK to resell a server if you add additional value to it. For instance get an unmanaged server, sell it as fully managed for higher price. Your management is the added value.
I meant without :-0
KVM... Chennai.... min 1024 ram... 4 cores... min 1 TB BW at 50/100mbps...$48 per year would be perfect... And add to it a proper mailing address for the company (non residential) would add weightage...
I'd prefer monthly payments to honest but at the same price range.....
Hahaha! My my my! Spock with a sense of humor
Let me see... GoodHosting comes to mind - in spades! - to refute your statement 
Combined with any free and commercial panel at the moment leads straight to disaster.
We are shipping Remus VMs with no panel.
It will eventually get supported in following versions of virtualizor, then it will be just great. Costly but great.
Chennai is wayyy too costly for that specification. Unless you were kidding. Then i LoL'd
i need also if there is a will 1gb ram for projects and development
The title of this thread ^^
Couldn't have said it better even if I tried.
