IMO go with a server from server.it which costs less than 2$ a month for the specs it provides (1Core / 2GB RAM/ 20GB SSD) if you plan to use a CDN like cloudflare or BunnyCDN. But if you prefer a Indian location go with AWS Lightsail (1Core/ 512M RAM/ 20 GB SSD) which is 3.50 a month.
but I would strongly recommend you to take a look at the this ( https://cloudjiffy.com/pricing ) As with your budget, Location and Scaling needs this would be the best candidate. @leapswitch
Honestly speaking, either get a VPS in India (DO - Bangalore) or even Singapore would do.
I get 70-80ms to Singapore servers when I play Multiplayer games on them. So, your visitors should be fine with it. You can even try Vultr Singapore VPS as I have been using them since 2017 and just cancelled my 3-year-old VPS with them as my client's project is complete.
In 3 years, there was no sudden or unexpected downtimes, just 2 of them when they were carrying out some planned maintenance and the downtime lasted for less than 5 minutes. So that eliminated my headache of explaining the client regarding any possible major downtimes as there were none.
So, yeah Vultr would be great though I think they do not have direct peering with any Indian bandwidth providers (correct me if I'm wrong).
Their $5/mo VPS has 1 CPU, 1GB RAM & 15GB SSD with 1TB data transfer, should be enough for a starting community. If you'd like to have $100 as a credit in Vultr then you can use my referral/affiliate code: https://www.vultr.com/?ref=8526391-6G
The $100 credit will expire in 30 days though if you do not use it.
Might not be the best location and ping might be excessive, but the prices are good. If you are looking for something budget-constrained you can try It out.
Not sure about that, as you don't have to worry about securing the actual server while using Shared Hosting from a provider. Plus you get DA as control panel, so easy backups etc too. Win win ?

Can include a road trip along the country, that will make look SG sweeter.
For example,
I have experienced packets going to Chennai ( Which is in another nearby state) when the destination is a DC ( Aride Ocean ) 8 Kilometre's away from me.

There is also usual suspects like
DO
Redidedi
Leapswitch
Aliyun
Can live off the various cloud free-tiers for upto 3 years or even more, GCP, aws, oracle, alibaba cloud, etc.
But I won't recommend that.

Hello,
I have Canadian based VPS starting at 2.99
Check them out: https://hosterlabs.net/panel/cart.php?gid=23

Regards!
with CDN like cloudflare, popular locations would work well enough. YMMV.
anything less than 200ms is adequate for community use.
more importantly is available CPU (higher freq), DDR4 Ram, SSD and above for user experience.
the rest will be optimizing it using caching etc.
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
@seriesn certainly does this according to their signature. Just tagging @SmallWeb @MikePT

Yup, pros and cons to both.

Grab the usd $36/yr hostus Ryzen 3900x limited offer. 1gb ram, 750GB transfer
Why compromise when the offer is still alive...
For South India, I can find no good reason to pick Mumbai. (everything gets congested at 8pm local) SGP is great.
Can't seem to edit. Link to offer :

Vps would be good sire, if it was scalable bcz I may use mail + ghost CMS + VPN
Thank you all, for your suggestions.
Well, I believe some one should start Only Ipv6 Indian DC vps. This may gain some traction for Asian users. ??

On maxmind I can't find the Singapore on location column ? @chocolateshirt
I assume you meants MaxKVM. They're most likely out of stock.
I know that HostUS has just restocked Singapore.
Solid network so far. I am using it as 24/7 wireguard node.
I think you would need at least the $36/yr 1GB plan for Ghost.
Else run GRAV cms on even the entry 512mb instance?
Got a snappy SG vps from maxkvm. @vimalware @chocolateshirt
Will try noted hosts on future.
Will count on you for APAC location @seriesn
Thanx peeps.
Fun to read all of this after your PM.
SG might be available to people who send a PM. Thanks for all the shoutouts in this thread!

If you see over 62ms latency , do send in a

to suppor, so they can address it via their upstream.
? Haven't tested yet.
Now just using it as wireguard
