India Set to be Technical Backend for All New .org Web Sites

India’s global image and reputation is rapidly growing. Top Internet decision makers, PIR, have decided to make India a hub for the technical backend of all new websites, a move that is expected to significantly reduce time to resolve websites.
The plan is to support the ‘.org’ name for all new websites from New Delhi, India.
Afilias, which will run the dot org registry, estimates that a website that takes 5-7 seconds to be located by a computer today, could then take 1-5 milliseconds.
“PIR has housed its domain name resolution servers for dot org in India. This is for the world’s dot org servers, not just for India. Apart from quicker resolution of web sites, this will also create additional jobs and technological advantages for India and lower infrastructure costs” says Edward Viltz, president and CEO, PIR.
“India is getting a phenomenally good reputation in the world for not just call centre activity but also for its technology and infrastructure” says Viltz.
