Damn I missed Indian vps it seems

What location was it?

Bangalore 3$ /y

That was pretty cheap. B'lor being a rare and kinda premium location in India, I was expecting even the offer prices to be extremely high.

But things are changing. New datacenters are being built left and right in India.

Hopefully will be much better and connected and ofcourse cheaper and faster bandwidths

Well, I am waiting for that time to come. Would love to have some datacenters close to me and not depend on other centers in Asia.

True that. It's time Asia shines on internet road map with cheap and accessible bandwidth

Oh yeah, TrK did mention DO introduced B'lor as a location a few years ago at good prices and then out of nowhere, decided to hike it, to everyone's dismay.

Dear @SilverCreek, I wrote you, but you still haven’t replied
I left my email, my WeChat, and my QQ on the side

I sent two work orders last November—maybe they got denied
It’s possible there was an issue with your $7 chicken or mine?

Sometimes I rush through forms too fast, maybe the bot mistyped
But anyway, forget it—how’s business on your side?

My project’s launching soon; MJJs staying up all night
The downtime’s hurting progress—it’s putting us in a bind

I’m trusting your service because it’s got a solid rep
I even scalped my plan for the best that I could get

I’ve recommended SilverCreek to all my friends who build sites
But now I’m feeling stuck without support to make it right

I hope you see this message and reply back soon
I’ve got deadlines piling up—your help would feel like a boon

Truly yours, a loyal user with big plans, it’s Chen

@SilverCreek pls respond

AFAIK now supply will be able to catch up with thrndemand.

Not saying it will be immediate price lowering.
Knowing how things work in India specifically with the bureaucracy/ red tape/ bribery and all you never know

Oh yes, I recently read a report about in-migration to cities like B'lor and Hyderabad, due to the job opportunities there. It's also said that these cities might soon turn into NCR, with the high population, pollution and traffic and the works.
I am hoping for a large part of this to be from datacenters and related tech. Moreover, while the new set of data protection laws has its loopholes and issues, there's actually a silver lining. The laws mandating user data, especially confidential ones to be held and processed in India might just convert to more datacenters within India for companies to handle their data.
