Hosting in Delhi, from the rack next door
The northern region is here. Delhi is the second densest interconnection point in the country after Mumbai, and it is the right pick for anything whose audience is north of the Vindhyas.
What Delhi traffic actually does
Route distances, and the round trip they imply on Indian backbone routes. Typical figures, not a measurement from your ISP — run your own ping before you decide anything on them.
| From | To | Route distance | Typical RTT | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi | Getwebup Delhi (DEL-01) | In-city | 5–9 ms | Closest region — pick this one |
| Delhi | Mumbai (MUM-01) | — | Higher | Only if your audience is concentrated there |
| Delhi | Singapore | — | ~60–90 ms | The usual alternative, and the reason this page exists |
| Delhi | US East | — | ~230–280 ms | Where a lot of cheap shared hosting still lives |
Latency is a floor, not a speed. Once you are inside India the round trip stops being the thing that makes a page feel slow — NVMe, LiteSpeed and a cache do the rest, and those are the same on every region.
What Delhi businesses take
One site or fifteen, on LiteSpeed and NVMe with free SSL and a free migration. The usual starting point for a Delhi agency's client sites.
From $0.52/mo KVM VPS & VDSFull root on dedicated vCPU with a 10 Gbps uplink, up in about sixty seconds. The usual fit for government and PSU vendors, media, education and D2C.
From $4.69/mo Bare metal & private cloudSingle and dual-socket Xeon, your own VLANs, and a rack diagram you can show an auditor. Data stays in Delhi.
From $94.61/moAlso serving New Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad from the same region — the routes are close enough that the numbers above hold across the whole cluster.
What people in Delhi actually ask us
Being inside the NCR interconnect means the region is effectively local, so conversations from Delhi tend to skip latency entirely and go straight to compliance and procurement — data residency, GST invoicing and whether there is a rack diagram to attach to a tender.
Why an Indian region rather than a cheaper foreign one
Billed in rupees with a GST invoice carrying our GSTIN, so a Delhi NCR business can claim input credit. A dollar invoice from an offshore host cannot do that, and the card forex markup is on top.
The NOC runs on IST. A ticket raised from Delhi at 11am is answered at 11am, not when a US shift comes online.
Everything sits in Delhi, which is the short answer to the data-residency question on most Indian enterprise and government procurement forms.
