    Indian datacenter but own site in USA DC?

    I was looking for data centers in India to host a few dedicated server so that our Indian clients get better speed. While searching, I came across http://www.webwerks.in . They have data center in Mumbai but when I checked their own site, I found it hosted on a USA Server. Please check link to verify - http://network-tools.com/default.asp...206.183.111.63

    I found it very strange.. don't they believe on their own datacenter?

    What do you think?

    That is up to the each company which are working on the area. Perhaps such diversification would be better for the end but local users.
    Site of the user is down but they still have ability to get in touch with the main provider

    I have chatted with them via GMail.
    Indian DC are very expensive compared to the US.

    Also they have high setup costs. To buy a dedicated you need to shell some $250 for setup!
    US servers are much cheaper.

    Webwerks I believe co-locates in US also. In fact they have been doing so much before they started their own dc in India. So the site might have been in one of their co-located servers.

    I have personally spoken to the owner Nikhil, and he seems to be a pretty decent chap with quite a bit of experience. That said, it still is very costly to have a server in India.

    Hosting their main site in some other DC is not a bad idea at all. As some one already mentioned if the main DC fails users can still get in touch with them throught their site!!

    if they are not sure about their own dc about uptime and stability ,how can they assure it for their customers ?

    Nobody did a traceroute ?
    The IP for http://www.webwerks.in lands in India.
    That site is hosted in our own Facility in India.


    We do provide more than 40gb of transfer - the pricing on the site does not show our special promos of 250GB/500GB/1000GB of transfer they are posted here on WHT if you look ...

    The USA is still the largest buying market for hosting so it wouldn’t have been a outrageous idea to host the site in the USA anyway for faster loading time for the convenience of the viewing customers. Good to hear it’s not though as you can see accurate load times for at least a normal website.

    The Indian DataCenter caters more to Indian audiences than anywone else. Load times will be fantastic when the DataCenter is local 3X faster than the US because latency is down to 60ms from 390ms ++ to the US
