Why should you choose India as a hosting destination?
The primary concerns for enterprises looking to host their critical web applications are security, speed, and quality of service delivery. Traditionally, companies used to choose US as a hosting destination because it boasts of a matured market where the prices are lowest due to the multiplicity of buyers and sellers. The interplay of market forces has had a stabilizing effect on prices resulting in the US becoming a preferred destination for those who are looking to outsource the hosting of their web applications.
However, as economies mature across the developing world, more and more companies are looking at hosting their critical web applications in their home country. The issue of cost has been relegated to the background as other concerns like security, speed and quality of service delivery have gained prominence in the minds of CXO’s. This is especially true in the case of India where the software services revolution has forced companies to rethink their strategies.
Cut –throat competition in the market place have forced companies to step-up their investments and host critical applications in-house. Hosting web applications in India has tangible benefits as it results in an enhanced browsing experience, as no browser is more than three hops away for any web application. Enhanced browsing experience leads to higher word-of –mouth publicity and referrals. Customizations, password change requests can be handled swiftly without struggling with time zone differences. Security is a foregone conclusion as the servers are stored in-house.
Last but not the least, legal issues resulting from non –delivery of commitments can be sorted out much easily as the transactions will be governed by local laws.
