VPS for Bangalore (Bengaluru) and Chennai, hosted in Mumbai today
Looking for a VPS in Bangalore or Chennai? We do not run servers in either city yet. Our KVM VPS for South India runs in our Mumbai region (BOM-1), from ₹674 (US$7.66)/mo, and this page gives you the typical round trips, as published on our data centre locations page, so you can decide whether that is close enough.
Short answer: Bigdomainhost has no data centre in Chennai or Bengaluru today. Both regions are planned, with no launch date. Customers in Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi and Coimbatore are served from Mumbai (BOM-1) at typical round trips of 24–44 ms for Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai and 36–50 ms for Coimbatore and Kochi, which is hard to feel on a cached website but worth testing for Remote Desktop or game servers.

Where it runs
Two live regions, and two planned for the south.
What is live and what is not
Our KVM VPS and VDS run in two Indian regions: Mumbai (BOM-1) and Delhi NCR (DEL-1). Chennai and Bengaluru are planned regions. They have no launch date, and nothing on this page should be read as saying they are open for orders.

If you were searching for a cloud server in Chennai or Bangalore, what we can sell you today is a KVM VPS in Mumbai, with full root access, reserved RAM, NVMe storage and a fair-share 3 GHz vCPU. For the full plan details, see our main KVM VPS hosting in India page.

These are typical ranges, not promises. Your ISP and the route your carrier picks move them, and our SLA is what we actually commit to.
Nearby cities follow the same path. Mysuru and Hubli sit alongside Bangalore; Coimbatore, Madurai and Puducherry alongside Chennai; and Secunderabad, Warangal and Vijayawada alongside Hyderabad.
For comparison, a server in Singapore is typically 55–70 ms from Indian cities, and one on the US East coast 220–260 ms. In both cases your data leaves India; a VPS in BOM-1 keeps it here.
In practice
What 30 to 40 milliseconds means for your workload.
Websites and stores: hard to feel
For a cached WordPress site, a business website, a blog or a store that is busy rather than enormous, a 30–40 ms round trip from Bangalore or Chennai is hard to notice. Caching and page weight matter far more; see our WordPress speed guide for India.
Chatty apps and APIs: count the round trips
Latency is paid on every sequential request. A page that makes six sequential API calls pays the round trip six times, so 35 ms becomes about 210 ms before your code does any work. Keep the app and its database on the same VPS, and batch calls where you can.
Remote Desktop, Tally and game servers: test first
Interactive sessions are where the gap shows. Keystroke lag over RDP, a Tally on Cloud session for an office in Bengaluru, or a game server whose players are mostly in the south will all feel the extra milliseconds. Test these before you order. If the numbers do not work, a host with servers in Bangalore or Chennai will serve that job better than we will, and we would rather say so than sell you something that disappoints. Our note on hosting the south from Mumbai sets out the cost city by city.
Measure it
Test from your own city before you order.
The ranges above are typical. Your own connection is the one that counts, so measure it:
Open our latency test from the network your users or your team will use. It times your browser's round trip to BOM-1 against AWS Mumbai, Singapore, London and Virginia, with nothing to install.
Run it on wired broadband, then on mobile data. Wi-Fi and mobile data add 5–40 ms over a wired line, and a VPN routes you through its own exit first, so switch it off.
Compare BOM-1 with AWS Mumbai. They should be close. If BOM-1 reads much higher, send your ISP and city to support@bigdomainhost.com; that is a routing problem we can report.
Because billing is hourly, you can also deploy a small Mumbai VPS, try your real workload from Bangalore or Chennai for a few hours, and delete it for a few rupees.
Pick a region
Mumbai or Delhi NCR for South India?
Choose Mumbai (BOM-1) if most of your users are in Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi or Coimbatore. It is the region we recommend for the south, and it is also the safer default when your audience is spread across India, because it has the strongest peering and the lowest average latency across the country. See the Mumbai VPS page for that region in detail.
Choose Delhi NCR (DEL-1) only if your users are mainly in the north, for example a Bengaluru company whose customers are in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Jaipur or Lucknow. See the Delhi NCR VPS page.
Prices are identical in both regions, with no city surcharge, so the choice is only about where your users are. Moving between Mumbai and Delhi NCR later is free, and our team does the migration.
Compute
VPS and VDS plans for South India, hosted in Mumbai
The same plans and prices as in Mumbai and Delhi NCR. VPS plans get a fair-share 3 GHz vCPU with burst headroom; VDS plans get whole dedicated physical cores. Billing is hourly, capped at the monthly price, with no setup fees. Prices exclude 18% GST.
The 2 vCPU / 4 GB plan comfortably runs several cached WordPress sites, a staging server or a small API for a Bengaluru or Chennai team. For WooCommerce, or a production site with its database on the same box, start at 4 vCPU / 8 GB. If steady CPU matters more than peak, such as video transcoding or heavy cron work, look at a VDS with dedicated cores. Our guide to how much RAM a VPS needs sizes it by workload.
Migration and support
Moving an existing server to Mumbai.
Migration is free and done by our team. Send us the current server's details, and we copy sites, databases, mail and DNS to the new VPS in Mumbai, run it in parallel until you are happy, then cut over at a time you choose, usually late evening IST.
Billing and payment
VPS and VDS are billed by the hour and capped at the monthly price, so a server you run all month never costs more than the plan price. There are no setup fees and no free trial credit. You pay in rupees by UPI or bank transfer.
Want a server in Chennai or Bengaluru?
Both regions are planned, with no date yet. Tell us which city you need and what you would run there, and we will get back to you. Until then, Mumbai is where your VPS runs.
Do you have a VPS data centre in Chennai or Bangalore?
No. Chennai and Bengaluru regions are planned, with no launch date. Today a VPS for South India runs in our Mumbai region (BOM-1), and Delhi NCR (DEL-1) is our other live region.
What latency will users in Bangalore, Chennai or Hyderabad get from a Mumbai VPS?
Typical round trips to BOM-1 on wired broadband are 28–40 ms from Bangalore, 32–44 ms from Chennai, 24–34 ms from Hyderabad, 36–48 ms from Coimbatore and 38–50 ms from Kochi. These are typical ranges, not promises: your ISP and your carrier's route move them.
Is a Mumbai VPS fast enough for a website with visitors in South India?
For a cached website, yes: the gap is hard to feel. For latency-bound work such as Remote Desktop for a team in Bangalore or a game server whose players are mostly southern, test before you order, because a host with servers in Bangalore or Chennai may serve that job better.
How can I test latency from my city before I order?
Open our latency test page on the connection your users will use. It times your browser's round trip to BOM-1 against AWS Mumbai, Singapore, London and Virginia. Test on wired broadband as well as mobile data, since Wi-Fi and mobile data add 5–40 ms.
Should I pick Mumbai or Delhi NCR for South India users?
Mumbai (BOM-1). It is the region we recommend for Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai, and the safer default when your audience is spread across India. Prices are the same in both regions, and moving between them later is free.
When will the Chennai or Bengaluru region launch?
There is no date yet. If you need a server in either city, tell us through the enquiry form which city you need and what you would run there.
How is the VPS billed and how do I pay?
By the hour, capped at the monthly price, with no setup fees and no free trial credit. You pay in rupees by UPI or bank transfer. Prices exclude 18% GST.
