Recently I was asked to research website hosting companies based within Asia. Marketing to Asian search engines, and fast upload/download speeds for website visitors were the top priorities, so finding companies with servers located in Asia was a must.

I have to admit that finding these companies wasn’t all that easy, and along the way I encountered many other people struggling with the same task.
The main requirements of my search were:
- English control panels
- Shared linux servers
- Servers located in Japan, Korea, India, China, Singapore and Malaysia
- At least 99% server uptime
After much research, I managed to find companies with all of these requirements based in each of the required locations. I have no affiliation with any of these companies and cannot guarantee any of the claims on their websites but I thought I would share this list of companies in the hope that it may save someone a lot of time!
Shinjiru – Have servers located in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia (contact them to specify your required server located). They have various hosting packages available on shared Linux servers with a quoted server uptime of 99.9%. English speaking support is available.
NTT Communications - Have servers located in Japan, Korea, India and China (contact them to specify your required server located). The website is a little difficult to navigate but there is a contact form available at the bottom of the page to request more information.
B4U India – Have servers located in India. They have various hosting packages available on shared Linux servers with a quoted server uptime of 99.9%. English speaking support is available.
Internet Brothers – Have servers located in Korea. Contact them through the website to discuss your exact requirements, quoted server uptime of 99.9%. English speaking support is available.
Portal Japan – Have servers located in Japan. Currently their hosting page isn’t available so I recommend contacting them through the website as shared Linux servers were available when I enquired. Estimated server uptime of 95% but not guaranteed. English speaking support is available.
JPStream – Have servers located in Japan. Budget and Advanced hosting packages are available on shared Linux servers, quoted server uptime for Advanced hosting package is 100%. English speaking support is available.
There are likely to be other companies offering hosting services within these countries but the most important thing is to check the location of the servers by contacting the company directly as many of the companies I spoke to have their servers located within the US.
I hope you find this list helpful
