    That and Norway, Moldova, Ukraine, Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia, Albania.

    Good latency to central EU, but free of US and EU regime. If you do proper research, you will find options that are suitable for a hosting provider(aka not that expensive).

    Prefer for what? Just depends on what you're wanting to host. Is it a personal server, not public? Are you hosting a site, trying to reach a certain audience or region of the world?

    For hosting a site that is for a general, English speaking demographic? Probably US Central or East Coast.

    For reaching an Asian audience? Singapore is a pretty popular APAC region location for just that.

    For privacy stuff? I guess from your list Luxembourg would be more ideal.

    For free speech? The USA, all the way.

    I use Starlink in the US, and it just shows whatever groundstation POP is closest to me which is often hundreds of miles away or in a different state.

    Still requires equipment on the ground to operate.

    Honestly i prefer EU countries that have "unmetered bandwidth" like France, Germany, Netherlands, Romania, etc.

  • HostMayoHostMayo Provider

    Well most of these are providers but I would love to hear which place more customers are interested in it. I felt like Netherlands is very popular due to DMCA ignore feature. Though it might be me only.

    I generally prefer hosting locations closer to my target audience to minimize latency and improve website performance. For example, if most of my users are in US, I’ll go for a data center in that region to ensure faster load times.

    Because Asia is the most scarce, the demand in Asia is high. However, Singapore's international network latency is not good and it is also expensive, so I prefer Japan or South Korea.

    It is a figurative speech, i don't even have a basement. I am a basement.
    One must find the basement, within. :relieved:
    A place deep inside where all of us keep the potatoes. Safe.
    People look at the potatoes, they imagine touching them, with greasy hands.
    Well, not in the basement of all of us.
    That's where potatoes sleep.

    As far as the United States is concerned for the West Coast, it will probably be Seattle, WA, or Bend, OR. I would always avoid Los Angeles, CA
    For central, Dallas, TX for south central and Chicago, IL for north central
    For the East Coast, Ashburn, Virginia, or New York City, New York, are the options for the Northeast, and Miami or Jacksonville, Florida, is the option for the Southeast.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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