HostGator Arrives in India with Localised Indian Servers!
This is a great NEWS for all Indians who are looking for a great Web Hosting Solution in order to start/migrate their own Blog/Website. HostGator, one of the biggest Web Hosting Provider in the World, has arrived in India and their operations have already been started in Nashik, Maharashtra.
HostGator India will allow all current and future clients the opportunity to receive local hosting with Servers in India, as well as localized support from their new office in India as well for HostGator India clients!
Currently HostGator is offering the same top notch performance servers, which are now hosted locally in India and on their owned IP addresses. The latency to the Indian servers from within India and Asia is very low as you can see in the image below:
Also, their network path is also very short and it never travels out of India, so an international broken backbone will never affect access to any of your website (Click to Enlarge):
The access times for sites hosted on such low latency network from within India and the Asian region is very fast. Also other account functions such as access to Cpanel/WHM, Emails, FTP etc see very fast speeds compared to overseas hosted websites!
