| From Kolkata to | Distance | Typical round trip | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| BOM-1 (Mumbai) | ~1650 km | 32–45 ms | Recommended |
| DEL-1 (Delhi NCR) | Further | Higher | Available, and free to switch to |
| Singapore | ~3,400–5,000 km | 55–70 ms | Slower, and your data leaves India |
| US East | ~13,000 km | 220–260 ms | Noticeably slow for Indian visitors |
The east is the one part of India we do not yet have a region in. BOM-1 usually wins on peering quality; DEL-1 is occasionally shorter depending on your carrier, and we will test both for you before you commit.
Kolkata traffic peers through NIXI Kolkata. Figures above are typical rather than guaranteed — your own last mile, your ISP and the route your carrier picks all move the number. The SLA is what we actually commit to.
Why this matters more than your theme
A page that makes six sequential requests pays its round trip six times. At 32–45 ms from BOM-1 that is invisible; at 250 ms from a US host it is most of a second before anything renders. It feeds straight into Largest Contentful Paint, which Google measures on real Indian connections.
Who we host in Kolkata
The Kolkata book is mostly trading and export houses, tea and jute, education and publishing, and a strong small-agency market. We also serve Howrah, Siliguri, Durgapur and Bhubaneswar from the same region.
Moving an existing Kolkata site
Migration is free and we do it. Send us the login for your current host — Hostinger, GoDaddy, BigRock, MilesWeb, HostingRaja, or any cPanel host — and we copy everything across, give you a preview URL, and change DNS only when you say the word. Typical cutover downtime is under five minutes, scheduled whenever suits you.
Call +91 75994 50220 or write to support@bigdomainhost.com and we will start today.
