which hosting location do you prefer?

yucchun · October 2024

I have yet to find low-end hosting in my home country, Japan. So I’ll stick with Tokyo. Most providers that I’ve seen here are either unreliable, expensive, never heard of or require a legal contract.

I'd say Singapore’s popularity is no surprise!

You may joke about space, but that's a real thing that's happened. If Microsoft, HPE, and NASA can get a internet connected computer in space, it should totally be possible to get a low end orbital VPS.

Up we go, from Lowendspirit, to Loworbitspirit!

It's about $0,33M to get a cubesat up to a low orbit.

If we can get a WiFi extender installed on it and pack it with 5x RPi 16MB and share the costs as prepaid option during the next BF-frenzy, we may have our LOSLES VPS by this time next year!

I don’t have to pay for power, utilities, tax and bullshit on the moon. Don’t even need AC.

When it comes to raw performance, I've found these locations consistently deliver excellent results:

USA: New York City, North Virginia, Denver.
Canada: Toronto and Montreal.
Europe: London, UK; Frankfurt, Germany.
Asia: Singapore, Tokyo, Japan.
Oceania: Sydney, Australia.

These locations typically have robust network infrastructure, strong peering relationships, and high levels of competition among providers, often resulting in better performance for end-users.

Of course, the "best" location always depends on the specific needs of the application. But these hubs have consistently proven their worth.

Switzerland, but not so common.

Anything vaguely Europe-ish works for me. Most just like the <20ms latency on ssh. US based at 100ish feels a bit meh

Thanks for your comment. Switzerland is not a profitable location to offer shared or reseller services.

Thanks for your comment. Tokyo is a location we will be opening soon. In the rest we already offer the service.
