This is our first offer here after getting the Provider tag. We operate physical infrastructure locally in Lahore, Pakistan, and currently have one bare-metal server available for deployment. Pakistan is still a fairly uncommon location for dedicated infrastructure, so this is mainly for people who specifically need a real Pakistan presence, whether that is for hosting/resale, local workloads, regional redundancy, VPN infrastructure, private virtualization, or simply adding Pakistan to an existing footprint.

This is hardware we operate ourselves in Lahore, with local access for upgrades and remote hands.

Available Server

Dell PowerEdge R720

• 2× Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2
• 20 physical cores / 40 threads
• 64GB ECC RAM
• 1TB SATA SSD
• 100 Mbps unmetered
• 1× Pakistani IPv4
• iDRAC 7 Enterprise
• Full root / bare-metal access

Price: $180/month
Limited Offer: $159 for the first month.

There is currently 1 server available in this configuration.

Why Lahore?

This is not meant to compete with $50–$100 US/EU commodity bare metal. The value here is the location. You get a physical server actually operated in Lahore, Pakistani IPv4 connectivity, local hardware access, and someone on the ground who can handle upgrades or physical intervention without relying on a third-party reseller chain. For providers/resellers, we are also open to supplying Lahore capacity on a wholesale basis.

Network

Current connectivity is through Transworld (AS135407) with IPv4 routing through our upstream arrangement.

Included:

• 100 Mbps unmetered
• 1× Pakistani IPv4
• Upstream-level DDoS mitigation
• Test IP available below.

Additional IPv4 addresses are approximately $3.50/IP/month, subject to upstream allocation and justification. Higher bandwidth can be arranged depending on the required commit, including configurations above the included 100 Mbps. BYOIP/BGP can also be discussed. IPv6 is not currently provisioned.

Upgrades / Custom Configurations

The listed configuration is what is available right now, but we can modify the machine if required.

Available options include:

128GB RAM or higher
Additional SSD/HDD storage
Different storage layouts
Additional IPv4
Higher committed bandwidth
Local remote hands

If you need a different Lahore configuration entirely, feel free to ask as well.

Network Test

Test IP:

117.20.29.31

Please feel free to run your own ping, traceroute or routing tests before ordering. Pakistan international routing can vary quite a bit depending on the destination, so I would rather provide a real test IP and let you check from the networks that matter to you.
