Got this in the mail.

Greetings, Gators,
Since launching in 2002, HostGator has seen incredible growth. HostGator is now one of the 10 largest hosting companies in the world with numerous awards and accolades for our remarkable service and reliability.
With the large amount of growth throughout the years, HostGator has been greatly expanding, both in the USA as well as internationally. We are proud to announce the newest HostGator addition; the launch of HostGator India, http://www.hostgator.in!
We are even offering a free 7 day test/trial of our shared HostGator India accounts (for you, our current HostGator clients only). Simply email sales@hostgator.in to take advantage of this!
HostGator India will allow our current and future clients the opportunity to receive local hosting with servers in India, as well as localized support from our new office in India as well for HostGator India clients! Our Indian operations have already started and our Indian office is located in Nashik, Maharashtra. The Indian office works 24x7 and provides technical as well as sales and billing support to our HostGator.In client base.
We offer the same top notch performance servers now hosted locally in India an on our 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.


The network path is also very short and you can see that it never travels out of India, so an international broken backbone will never affect access to your sites.


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.
Our Services:
The plans offered on our Indian site http://www.hostgator.in are exactly same as our US site http://www.hostgator.com. The resource limits and everything remain the same even on the Indian servers. We are one of the pioneers of unlimited hosting and we are happy to offer the same plan limits even in India. The plan prices are also the same except for the fact that we are legally bound to change Service tax charged @ 10.30% for billing via our Indian operations.
Our Shared web hosting plans can be seen at http://www.hostgator.in/shared.shtml and Reseller Hosting plans at http://www.hostgator.in/resellers.shtml . We offer VPS as well which can be seen at http://www.hostgator.in/vps-hosting/ and our India based dedicated servers can be seen at http://www.hostgator.in/dedicated.shtml .
We also offer 24x7 localized support for the Indian Operations via helpdesk, live chat and phones. Our contact details would be as below:
Helpdesk: https://tickets.hostgator.in or email us @ sales@hostgator.in or support@hostgator.in
Live Chat available @ http://www.hostgator.in
Phone: 1800-209-8833 (Toll Free number for calling from within India)
+91-253-6641555 (Direct Dial Number when calling from India or even outside)
You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter!

Our staff in India is highly skilled and work under the supervision of our of our oldest Level III System Administrators. Our Indian office pictures can be seen below:





We are also offering a 7 day beta test of our shared hosting accounts on our Indian servers for people who want to test the speed and access times of our Indian servers. You can email us at sales@hostgator.in to request a beta testing account.
Upcoming features:


[*] Currently the Indian site does its billing in USD but in very near future, we would be providing Indian Rupee billing.
[*] We will also be accepting payment via local banks using netbanking or via local debit cards shortly.
[*] All future promotions will be personalized for India and will be done with relation to our Indian festivals and events.
[*] We will also be adding customized services for India like local website designing, seohosting etc in near future as well.
[/list] Please feel free to email sales@hostgator.in with any of your queries about our Indian operations.
Thank you, we look forward to working with you soon!

The HostGator India Team

heh. looks like they mailed all their past customers. i was on hostgator like years ago. they shut me down with the excuse that my sites were consuming too many resources. i got the same email. posted here: HostGator launches Indian operations!
 
you really have no idea how many resources this forum takes on the server it runs on. i cannot really blame hostgator... my websites were doing well. took me a lot of time to realize that i had to move to a dedicated. and i have never really looked back. now that the things are not that good. i might migrate the forum to a cloud based hosting solution where i pay for resources i consume on a monthly basis. and move my other sites to a share account to save money. dedicated is not worth the money if you are not growing.
 
so something like Amazon? ^

I actually do feel this is probably the best option for those who want to host in India.
 
they are working on launching their indian payment gateway that would accept payments in local currency. they would also soon support bank transfers in india.
 
Their data center is in India and they still offer the same rate as their US site?
 
thats what they are claiming. service tax is of course extra.
