GitHub Enterprise, Copilot and Advanced Security, set up and run for Indian teams.

GitHub Enterprise Cloud data residency is not offered in India today, so we host GitHub Enterprise Server in our Mumbai Tier IV data centre when code must stay here. We also run self-hosted Actions runners, connect Enterprise Managed Users to Microsoft Entra ID and roll out Copilot and GitHub's security products.

GitHub Enterprise Cloud

SaaS on github.com, or GHE.com with data residency

Data residency runs on Microsoft Azure with its own GHE.com subdomain and Enterprise Managed Users. Regions listed by GitHub on 7 Nov 2026:

EU (incl. EFTA)AustraliaUSJapanIndia · not listed

Billing: card, PayPal or a connected Azure subscription; usage-based billing is available for Enterprise and Advanced Security.

GitHub Enterprise Server on XcellHost

The GitHub appliance, in Mumbai or your VPC

For teams whose code must stay in India, or that need LDAP, pre-receive hooks or an air-gapped network. We run the appliance, backups, replicas and upgrades. Size it →

  • Mumbai Tier IV or your own cloud account

Copilot plans now include AI credits. Here are GitHub's numbers.

From docs.github.com Copilot plans, checked on 7 November 2026. Business and Enterprise credits are pooled across the organisation; usage beyond the pool is US$0.01 per AI credit.

Coding agent, code review and chat

Copilot can review pull requests, answer in chat and, as a coding agent, open pull requests from issues. Agent and premium-model work draws on AI credits, so we set budgets and limits before rollout.

Adoption, not just seats

We train developers on prompts, review habits and secure use, and track which teams are getting value. See our AI training programme and AI IDE Lab.

GitHub Advanced Security, unbundled

Secret Protection and Code Security. Buy one or both.

Since 1 April 2025 GitHub sells its security products as two standalone products, priced per active committer per month, and Team plan customers can buy them too.

GitHub Secret Protection

US$19per active committer / month
  • Push protection stops secrets before they reach the repo
  • Secret scanning across history, issues and pull requests
  • Alerts routed to owners and to our SOC

GitHub Code Security

US$30per active committer / month
  • Code scanning with CodeQL in pull requests
  • Copilot Autofix suggestions for found issues
  • Dependency review and supply-chain insight

Our rollout

  1. Free secret risk assessment for the organisation
  2. Pilot on five repositories, tune false positives
  3. Enable push protection and code scanning by policy
  4. Monthly report on open alerts and fix time

GitHub Enterprise Server sizing

Pick your licence count. We'll place the appliance.

GitHub publishes minimum hardware per licence band for GHES 3.22. We map it to the smallest XcellHost General Compute VM that meets both vCPU and memory, and add 25% when Actions or Code Security run on the appliance, as GitHub advises.

Minimums from docs.github.com (GHES 3.22 install guide), checked 7 Nov 2026. VM rates are XcellHost General Compute monthly prices; storage at ₹6 per GB a month. Actions on GHES also needs external blob storage, which we provide on S3-compatible object storage.

Indiais not in GitHub's data residency region list as of 7 Nov 2026
Why it matters in India

If code must stay in India, run the server here.

  • DPDP Act, 2023: personal data in issues, logs and test fixtures stays in Mumbai on GHES. DPDP platform →
  • CERT-In directions: appliance and runner logs retained and incidents reported on time
  • RBI and SEBI regulated entities: data location, access logs and change records you can show
  • Prefer SaaS? Enterprise Cloud with EMU and Mumbai runners keeps builds and artefacts local
FAQ

GitHub on XcellHost, answered.

We host GitHub Enterprise Server in our Mumbai Tier IV data centre or your VPC, run self-hosted Actions runners, set up Enterprise Managed Users with Microsoft Entra ID, roll out Secret Protection, Code Security and Copilot, migrate repositories with GitHub Enterprise Importer, and supply GitHub licences.

GitHub lists Team at US$4 and Enterprise at US$21 per user a month (github.com/pricing, 7 November 2026). Taxes apply. We send a formal quote in USD or INR as the channel allows.

Not today. GitHub's data residency regions on 7 November 2026 are the EU (including EFTA countries), Australia, the US and Japan. GitHub says more regions are planned. If code must stay in India, GitHub Enterprise Server hosted in Mumbai is the option we recommend.

GitHub's docs list Copilot Business at US$19 and Copilot Enterprise at US$39 per granted seat a month, with 1,900 and 3,900 AI credits per user pooled; extra usage is US$0.01 per credit. Individuals can choose Free, Pro (US$10), Pro+ (US$39) or Max (US$100).

Since 1 April 2025 GitHub sells GitHub Secret Protection at US$19 and GitHub Code Security at US$30 per active committer a month. They can be bought separately, and Team plan customers can buy them as well as Enterprise customers.

We start from GitHub's minimums for your licence band. Up to 1,000 licences needs 8 vCPU and 48 GB memory, which we place on a G1.4xlarge at ₹19,199 a month, plus 400 GB root and 500 GB data storage. We add 25% CPU and memory if Actions or Code Security run on the appliance.

It depends on minutes and machine size. Hosted Linux 2-core runners cost US$0.006 a minute and larger runners more; a self-hosted VM costs the same each month however busy it is. Use the runner compare tool with your own minutes, and remember GitHub has said it may charge a platform fee for self-hosted runners in future.

GitHub lets enterprises connect an Azure subscription for billing, and usage-based billing is available for Enterprise and Advanced Security. As a Microsoft Gold Partner we can help you set that up or bill licences through XcellHost.

It is a GitHub Enterprise Cloud mode where your identity provider creates and controls the accounts. With Entra ID, users are provisioned by SCIM, sign in through SSO and lose access when they leave. GHE.com with data residency always uses EMU.

Yes. GitHub Enterprise Importer supports Azure DevOps Cloud, Bitbucket Server and Data Center 5.14+, GitLab, GitHub.com and GHES 3.4.1+ as sources. We run a dry run, rewrite pipelines as Actions workflows and cut over in a planned window.

VM and storage prices are XcellHost's General Compute rates. Plans and one-time services marked with an asterisk are indicative and confirmed in your quote. INR prices exclude 18% GST; GitHub prices are GitHub's USD list prices.
