I am in the UK, all my users are in the UK.
How crazy would it be to get a web host in another country?
I like the look of an American company.
There are plenty in the UK, but they don't tick as many boxes.
What would difference in speed be? (approximately)
I am in the process of finding a host for my website (as I am not very happy with the current one).
My statistics shows that most of my visitors are from Europe and Asia and not much from US.
My question is, should I think of a host in Europe or Asia?
does it actually make a lot of difference where is your host located ?
I live in Turkey. I'm gonna buy a reseller package from Hostgator which is located in Texas. I will mostly make websites in English language for business(affiliate websites) but I decided to make 2 websites in Turkish language for a hobby of mine. Should I buy hosting from a company in Europe or can I still go with Hostgator? I really like Hostgator's package but how much disadvantage would there be in terms of speed? Would people be able to tell by speed whether the server is close or not? Is there a way to test it? All my friends' computers have a speed around 100kb download per second.

I'm looking for dedicated servers and found good pricing/service in Chicago but worried about response times for my Cali folks. I'm hosting a non public web app that everyone needs to use so the load is low and response times are not super critical.
Will my users experience noticable latency?
Also people that manage the servers may be in Cali as well. Will they find it fustrating to remote into these windows servers and manage them or will it be acceptable or should I find something closer to california?
I am based in the UK and ideally I want my server based in the UK too. But the best host I've found so far seems to be American.
If most of my users are from the UK, then I don't want the latency to be too high. Or it so insignificant that I don't need to worry?
I was looking at [url] but if someone knows a similar deal in the UK I'd like to hear about it!
we have a server where we run sites and emails, but now we are going to buy a offsite email solution (based on ms exchange) in order to have our emails running when our web server is down.
But at the momment we run our own dns at our webserver using our own nameservers, in order that our emails keep working during a webserver downtime, we need to host our dns server at another location. So the offsite email company that is based in usa, said to us that they can host our dns at their datacenter in usa.
So i will have a configuration like this:
Webserver >> location: Spain
Mail Server >> location: USA
DNS Server >> location: USA
note: 99% of my website visitors came from Spain
So my question is:
Does it matters in terms of speed/performance having my dns server located in usa?
So in a simple way, will my website will it be fast with the dns located in spain, or having it in usa is exactly the same in terms of speed/performance?
Just wanted to get everyone's ideas on something. The web development company I work for is actively seeking business throughout the world. All of our applications are currently hosted on servers in the north west UK and London.
It may work out that we pickup some business in South America, South Africa and Asia.
A lot of people in our company are saying that it will need to be hosted near to our clients for speed issues as if we try and host the websites and backend applications from the UK they will be too slow. Surely the point of the internet is that it doesnt matter where the stuff is hosted. Colleagues are saying that if we are trying to administer servers on the other side of the world the poor connections will mean we will struglle.
In some of the countries the infrastructure must be pretty advanced. London has huge POP on the net and surely this will help.
Hosting stuff for clients based in South America isnt too bad as I think we would be ok hosting stuff in America. Likewise I'm sure there are similarly developed countries in Asia will be able to provide hosting. Not too sure about South Africa.
Just a question about hosting your site in the same country where your main targeted visitors is located. It is my belief that I should host my sites in the same country where I the targeted visitors are. Am I correct in saying this??
So..
US Focus Site should be hosted in the US
Canadian Focus Site should be hosted in Canada
And UK Focus Site would be hosted in the UK??????
I'm wondering if you can tell me something about your experience with a host/server in a different country or overseas.
My webpage will be mostly frequented by Australians.
What do you think is the advantage and the disadvantage of having a host in your own country and having one overseas?
I'm thinking about stability, traffic speed, peak hours in different time zones, customer service, ....
What are your experiences?
From testing, I've come to the conclusion that I get extremely fast page downloads from a host in the Equinix Center in VA. I'm in Western NY. I don't know if this data center is better than most or if I just happen to be in an ideal location for their service.
I have a business that gets orders from the whole U.S., but a majority are in the East, especially the NE. Visitors come from everywhere in the U.S., but I'd like to keep the buying customers happiest.
Page download speeds are very important to me and I'd like to keep them as fast as possible for my customers. How important is the data center used by a host going to be to my decision? Also, is there a way to find webhosts from a particular data center? Manually going to webhost sites to find out if they have servers in the Equinix center has been painfully slow.
I asked my host to migrate my account from a PHP4 to a PHP5 server which they did without question.
During the transfer they have lost a folder containing every product image my site sells, over 1000 different items.
I know I'm foolish not to have backed it up, but I didn't, I have all the photos but not after they're all been renamed and resized.
Basically, so far today - 24hrs, I have only had 2 orders when I normally get 60-70 a day.
A quick question:
Does it matter where my Host is located?
Personally, I live in Scandinavia so would buying a hosting from a company located in the US (all across the Atlantic) in any way affect my site?
I was wondering about these questions for a co-location server to make it easy
i.What is the best Os in your opinion, preferably an open source=lower expenses and licensing
ii.What should you look for when looking for a provider e.g power/bandwidth and how would go about doing that? Can these providers give international coverage?
iii.What is your best estimet of cost it would take to build a 3U rack server with firewall..switches the whole lot?
iv.Do you find that your servers are extremely noisy?
v.What is your recommened network topography works best with these servers e.g start, ring,bus etc?
I have a few questions:
1. I was wondering whether my choice in web host is limited to the particular country where I reside, or whether I can choose a web host from any country? If the latter is true, are there any disadvantages to this?
2. Also, I would like to set up a website and from what I understand of my investigations so far, there exist two possibilities. The first is to download all the necessary software and do it all by myself which will also involve finding a good host that meets my needs and also optimising the website for Google. The other way would be to subscribe to an online company which provides all of these services in one package at a determined price. Which would be better?
3. Has anyone ever come across a site called SiteBuildIt.com, or also known as SiteSell.com? Would this be a good option and are they or do they do what they claim? If it is a good option, are there any other sites similar to SiteSell? Therefore, would it be more practical to subscribe to a company like SiteSell where I can get all my hosting, web design and SEO needs all under one roof or would I be better off going it on my own?
4. With regard to my hosting needs, how much storage and bandwidth will I be looking at in order to run a small real estate website?
I have medialayer but I still have a contract with ICDSoft (love them too) I've been waiting for the ICDSoft contract to expire later this year and move that website over to medialayer but it occurred to me, why. I get a gig of storage with ICDSoft and I'm using a lot of that. I may blow my quota on medialayer if I move that site over.
Just seems odd for me to have only a handful of sites but yet have two web hosting companies. I may have gone completely over to ICDSoft, but my MovableType blogs don't seem to work as seamlessly on ICDSoft. Also MediaLayer seems to have faster servers which is great on one site that hosts a lot of images.
I know this sounds a difficult question, but any rough answer is better than none. I am sure there are rough expectations.
Will it be 10's, 100's, 1,000's, 10,000's etc.
I am looking at a dedicated server Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.0GHz, 1GB memory with network speed of 100mb (with gigabyte burst whatever that means).
[url]- bronze package - if anyone is interested)
I will run one site only. The site has very heavy database usage and normal page views with average images.
Video / most photos are hosted and delivered with a seperate, top-quality CDN.
Your answer might be... "You should get about 1000 surfing, using database etc. before you notice a slow down" etc.
I suppose the thing is.. at what stage would I need a second dedicated server / package upgrade / what will this server get me?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI recently aqcuired a VPS. I'm running CentOS 5.
I cannot close port 22. I logged in and edited the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and changed the Port 22 to a high random number.
It works... I can SSH using the new port, but I can also still SSH under port 22, and it is not listed in my sshd_config file anymore.
I restarted 'service sshd restart', and I manually stopped it and started it again, and nothing is working.
Does anyone know how to stop sys links between files and directories?

well i used them for exactly one month, i thought 25/month, i can get much more ram and bandwith from linode.com
i send them like 6 times already, email saying i want to discontinue vps package
they say they need my billing password, so i give them to prove my identity.
then the tickets are closed!
this is repeated 6 times already. wth?

build out a backup datacenter to mirror our facilities currently located in Manhattan.
Does anyone have any recommendations of a datacenter (preferably a carrier neutral facility) that is within walking distance to the NJ PATH station in New Jersey?
We are looking for between 2 and 3 racks with up to four 20 amp power cicuits.
I have a VPS and when I signed up I was told by the provider that the server was based in a UK datacentre. However, I've just done a search on the IP address for my VPS and it comes up as 'The IP address is assigned to France'.
Does this mean the server's actually located in France?

OS Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 x64
Panel version 11.5.30 Update #13, last updated at Sept 1, 2013 03:30 PM
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
In a costumer panel have a one database MSSQL, and assign to this DB 3 users, but the tab option "Users" don't work fot his costumer and show this error:
Error Javascript:
TypeError: template is null
this.template = template.toString(); in protototype.js 8472831 (lÃnea 807)
ACTUAL RESULT
Error Javascript:
TypeError: template is null
this.template = template.toString(); in protototype.js 8472831 (lÃnea 807)
EXPECTED RESULT
Show users in the tab users for database.
On my server, users can connect to any database as long as they have the database user and password. This makes it easier to hack any database on the server.
What I want to do is to make the users can only connect to their own databases and not other's.
I tried changing the localhost ip address but it didn't work ( I assume I didn't do it the right way)
The market is full of VPS providers with different combinations of features.. some offer huge amounts of ram, bandwidth, managed, unmanaged, etc.. The sheer number of choices is dizzying..
My question is, if you had to pick one feature of a VPS plan that was most important to you, what would it be?
How important is PCI Compliance to you as a hosting provider? Are you compliant now?
Do you intend to be complaint? Also how many thing that just getting a scan from comodo or another scanner makes you compliant?
As far the rules for PCI-DSS state if you store CC's which all hosting companies do if they are using a billing system, i.e MB, WHMCS etc.. You have to be compliant to a fault for a 37 page document with lots and lots of requirements that most don't do and don't know how to do.
Is it worth it to not make the effort and get compliant or risk losing your merchant account and getting on the TMF list and fined $50k?
