Hi,
Does anyone know if there's any Hosting Conference('s) happening in India? So far I dont see these happening; even bootcamps/bar camps also seems to be dead for a while....

I know they recently had a Datacenter conference in Mumbai a few weeks ago if not mistaken.

No, there is no Hosting Conference happening in India. There was a meetup organised by Ctrls Datacenter few months back. No other meetups/conferences specially for hosting.

No any hosting conference in India because of most of hosting providers lease server in other country(They don't have their own hardware and also no one want to buy a 200GB Bandwidth at $$$$$/m)

Currently there are no physical conferences scheduled for India. However, you might want to looking into a virtual hosting conference, such as vconferenceonline if you are looking to expand your knowledge database.

As per my knowledge, recently, there are no Hosting Conferences scheduled in country India.

I dont think events like hostingcon or any such activity would be scheduled to happen in India given that most hosting providers have their servers outside. The few datacenters that are there like ESDS, Ctrls are all heavily participating in expos and events outside. Given the scenario, it is difficult to foresee such events happening in the near future.

How about doing one?? An invitation-cum-request to all web hosting guys from India here in WHT. Wanna give it a thought?? Maybe first online then we can move offline.... ???

spare a thought...

Nothing better for starters! :P

There are many Cloud events though.
Recently AWS was there and there are many others happening as well.
But even I wish there is one conference out in India as well.

HostingCon US is a BLAST to attend.

We had attended Startup City Bangalore few months ago. There were many hosting companies exhibiting or attending it. Haven't been to a hosting specific conference though.

In India, there is literally clutter of hosting providers but mostly everyone hosting their servers/sites in US DCs
Problem is bandwidth is very costly in India, another point is cost of electricity is higher than US and European countries.

Still many people havent used linux , hardly few people in IT know linux from bottom.
Mostly IT people are engaged in management, outsourcing etc.
IMPO, in future, there are no chances of hosting con in India.

problem is tendency , people want cheap things, they bargain even when there is a difference of Rs.10 to 100, few people look at quality and sustainability.

When I compare quote for specific server from US Dc and Indian DC, there is vast difference.

Things is in US, there are many big players such as hivelocity, singlehop where people are hosting sites, even Indians do.

US based server = Low cost + good quality
Servers based in India = High cost + low quality

I just saw a server config listed here with 2TB Bandwidth on 100Mbps port or 10Mbps port for a price of 600$/mo.

Felt like woops.

I recently came across a url for hosting con, i.e hostingcon.co.in.. and the event is in one of the metro city in India.
