We have our main cluster in Atlanta, Georgia, USA and intend to keep it there.
However our customers in Malaysia are not able to connect reliably to that server. They have up to 30% packet loss.
I want to get a server that can sit in the middle and just port-forward between Malaysia and the USA. This needs to be just a low-cost linux vps server as it is doing very little.
Does anyone know of a provider that has good links to the USA and to South East Asia who can provide a server like this?
I have a small project that I am going to be doing for a client and I am in the need for a small linux (centos) vps, 128mb (would like to have a burstable amount too) ram.
Storage really isnt a issue, dont need more than a couple GB's. Looking to find something around $15 USD. I would prefer the location to be in Japan, but I am pretty much open to anywhere in East Asia.
I'm starting a B2B site which the primary market would be in Asia.
Should I have my server in Asia or US? I would like to get some advise/recommendation for:
- Where should I setup my server at? (especially if going forward I will have customers all over the world too, not just Asia)
- Any dedicated hosting server in Asia that is reliable?
- Will Amazon EC2 fit my situation?
but I heard, their initial configuration and maintenance is pretty complicated (and not reliable too)
Most of the US based hosting offering pretty huge package and atractive price, unlike their counterpart in Asia.
I almost signup with MediaTemple (dv) sevice, but then I realize that they don't have any network in Asia, and I'm just concerned about latency/download speed, etc.
I know their service is good in the US, but not sure if it's used in Asia.
any comment for skynethosting.net, theplanet, hostsg, or MediaTemple with the usage in Asia?
Does anyone know of any businesses that are based in the US and have their own network in a DC in in Los Angeles, but also have their own network in a datacentre in Europe and Asia?
I'm working with an NGO and we have sites dedicated to companies in Afghanistan and East Timor -- need to reach people inside those, and neighboring, countries. We have our headquarters in North America and donors scattered around the world.
Have been trying to identify good providers in Asia, but am finding very little. In an ideal world we'd have servers in N. America and Hong Kong or Singapore (or India?).
I'm looking for datacenters in Europe and Asia. My application is primarily going to be VoIP (95%). Connecting to Telcos via SIP in North America (mainly USA, so connectivity should be good) to terminate calls in North America, and later into UK and Japan, China, Australia and Singapore.
Narrowed down my choices to these companies. My customers will mainly be in Asia and for that reason I am thinking of going with Sharkspace and choosing their West Coast server option.
Anyone have experience with 3inetwork? They seemed geared towards Vietnamese customers (where I am at the moment) but can't find many reviews.
There are definitely several US-based providers (Softlayer, SingleHop, etc.) that have portals that allow self service -- OS rebuilds are especially important to me.
It seems harder to find in Europe and Asia though. I need servers in both, so if anyone has advice I'd appreciate it.
I know that Giga-International has these features as options, but I've read reviews that indicate that they are generally oversold. So they are not my first choice.
does anybody know a cheap dedicated server in US (west coast) or Asia region. The price should be arround $40 per month. no setup or less than $50.
Server is for DNS, SNMP monitoring and some backup data only. Minimum requirement are 512MB+, small CPU, 80GB/120GB+ HDD and 200GB+ Traffic should be enough for it. More than 1 IP, remote power and Gentoo Linux is preferred.
I had searched in the past but it seeams that companies like vrtservers/theplanet/etc. will have much higher prices right now as a half year before. I know there were one for $29-$39 in SJ or LA depending on the RAM/HDD/IP but I don't remember which company it was.
But in general it seams that servers in Europe (NL, Germany, ...) will be much cheaper right now with much more support and features like RemotePower, more IP addresses, ...
For over a week now I have had the following network issues:
- browser timing out (for me and visitors to my site)
- ftp connection issues
The server load is low so it's not server related.
Traceroute TO the server appears fine.
Traceroute FROM the server to users IP's appears to have issues over the SingTel/Optus network.
My webhost says it's an issue for SingTel/Optus.
SingTel/Optus Engineer say: "Our testings point to a problem either within Cogent's network or on a peering link between Cogent and Singtel in LA.
I'd suggest that the owner of the domain (me!) approach his hosting provider and have them escalate to Cogent. We can't escalate to Cogent as we have no peering with them."
So I've been the meat in the sandwich for over a week with no sign of a fix.
My options appear to be to either move the VPS away from the webhost and host it locally (Australia) or to somehow wait for someone to step up and take responsiblity and get this resolved.
My heart says wait as it's not *my* responsibility but it's costing me financially and professionally.
Anyone else experiencing similiar/same issues from the Asia Pacific region to the US?
