We get asked this question many times and although the previous post mentioned why you should host your dedicated server, colocation server or webhosting in India - thought we should put in some more valid points other than the inherent google advantage, faster loading etc..
Heres is a brief list of hurdles you avoid when you host your portal or application in India
Avoid Communication Problems
Same Timezone for Support - as in all cases theres more men in the day than in the night which means you get improved support from the datacenter NOC.
Avoid Multiple downtimes due to International Routing or Cable cuts
Lower Latency - well we already mentioned this once before
Avoid slow data transfers - get to the audience faster
Avoid Tax hassles - did you know that your supposed to deduct tax for payments made abroad. Your vendor abroad cant really bear the burden of that and you end up with a liability of 10-15% more on his behalf. Why do that just host in India.
So host in India and overcome the hurdles of hosting outside.
