Region/Location Question

BitmapBitmap
in General

I've been checking various providers and just having a gander around the interwebs to see where the market is at these days and I wondered what the best region or location is for certain folks - just thought I'd try and start a little discussion.

Examples

What's the best location for a dedicated server to serve people mainly spread across the US and Europe?

What's the best location to serve Asia (in general)?

Etc.

    ASIA = Singapore
    ROTW = Cociu, Romania

    I know where to get Hokkien and Hookers in Singapore. I only know where to get Hookers in Romania.

    Hope that helps eh?

    Asia is probably Singapore, however Asia is huge so I assume you mean Eastern Asia.

    Europe/US is London, Amsterdam or Paris.

    London is not in Europe. It's in Ontario.

    I'm comfortable enough in my sexuality to say I love @MikePT. It's 2020 guy. Don't hold back.

    @debaser So we have now established you like seafood. But are you a Pixies fan, or Junglist, or neither?

    The main hubs are Ashburn and New York in the US and Amsterdam, Frankfurt and London in Europe.

    Singapore if general, with Tokio being worth of consideration for certain regions.

    I feel like geographic location is only one half of the equation. You also have to look at peering, IMO.

    Cheap dedis are my drug, and I'm too far gone to turn back.

    True – though, peering is a science in itself, this was literally intended as a quick-shot question, kinda' gets tedious when there's a million and one providers all operating from a couple dozen locations.

    Nice try, but Hokkien is a dialect. I am not sure how you get a dialect. It's like saying you can get Afrikaans.

    Would be pretty expensive but who knows! ?
