Hello
I’m planning to setup a FreeBSD Mirror for the FreeBSD Users from
India. I’ve already acquired the domains freebsd.org.in and
freebsdindia.com
But right now the main issue is of bandwidth in India so I was
thinking of setting up the Mirror on a US based server with good
connectivity to India. I currently have few servers with a datacentre
in US and they are now about to get bandwidth from Tata Communications
which is an Indian Company and have good connectivity to all major
Indian ISP’s as Tata Communications is one of the largest bandwidth
provider in India.
Please suggest if I should go for it? And if I setup the mirror can I
get it listed as official mirror of freebsd.org for India and whenever
bandwidth conditions improves in India or if I can get any sponsor in
India for hosting the mirror I can move the site to an Indian Server.
I can sponsor and maintain the mirror server in US till I get some
sponsor for Indian Server.
Please give your thoughts about it.
