[ILUG-BOM] [OT] Shell accounts and payment from India

Hi,

This isn't related to linux as such, but since we are all geeks, I thought people might no the answer.

I'm currently looking for shell accounts and web hosting. I am ready to pay, but all hosts in Europe/USA accept payment via Bank transfer. Now from what research I've done it's not worth sending money out of India due to the bureaucratic hurdles. As for Paypal, that requires a credit card, but I only have a debit card. Does anyone here use webhosts outside India, or say VPSes. What do you do then?

Is there any good provider of a shell account/VPS in india which will allow me to run a SOCKS proxy using SSH? It will be purely for personal use. That way I can pay within India.
