I have a lot of international users connecting to my server. They are from all around the world including the philipines , germany, etc. Im thinking those users experience distance lag (Latency?). How do i cut down on this distance lag. Should i upgrade from 10mpbs to 100mpbs would that do any good?
View 9 Repliesif server distance is going to be a problem for international user. e.g say i have servers located in a DC in Australia, if US, UK clients signed up, would their accounts experience any big problems 'loss of quality' ? etc. The reason i ask this is because i would like to have direct control and monitoring of my own servers which is close to home.

I'm in Ottawa, and from what I've found in my research, the closest DCs with reasonable prices are in Montreal, which is a ~2 hour drive. Is that too far to sucessfully run a hosting business?
Also, does anyone know of DCs that are closer?
The server is up and running, so the server is not an issue. I therefore suspect there must be a DNS problem somewhere.
The common denominator among those that are having the problem is that they are using connections with high latency (e.g. Satellite). Could high latency be the problem? If yes, is there anything I can do so my users will stop having this problem?
Id like to know if I could use a remote desktop ( remotely ) as I have about 350msec latency to the server where I am planning to install it. I am planning to use remotely anywhere server .
View 6 Replies View RelatedOne of my apps is based on querying Youtube API. My response times are badly slow: something like 2 to 3 seconds. The guys on YouTube APIs Developer Forum suggested that the response time should be more like <.5 seconds.
Would you guys do me a favor and post your results for this command:
curl -w "
Total: %{time_total}
" -o /dev/null http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?vq=dog
It basically queries the API and tells you how much time it took API to return the data.
Please post your result and the NOC/hosting company you use. I am now considering moving to another hoster.
two setup issues:
1) We have 3 web servers each with IIS and ColdFusion. When updating the site which setup is better:
a) upload the changed file to all 3 web servers, keeping them in sync
b) move the source files to our storage server, then change the site root on the web servers to point to a network share in the storage server
Main issue: Will the network latency of fetching the source files be a performance problem?
2) We have a storage server that will serve up some audio/video via http. Which setup is better:
a) expose it to the Internet and serve it directly to the users via its own IIS
b) create a network share and let the 3 web servers serve the files
If you think long and hard about this issue you'll realize there are many cons and pros to each approach. I can't seem to make up my mind.
What would be the best provider for reaching Japan with low latency from NYC?

But i have been ping several major hosting USA company (like, mediatemple, theplanet, etc...) and i still didnīt get a Ping under 130ms.
If i ping a good EU company i get 60 to 90ms.
I know that the distance is bigger but,
Does anyone knows any good USA hosting company with a Ping to Europe lower than 100ms?
