    Searching for solid European Hosting

    Hey,

    I've been on a search for a great solid european host.
    I am looking into running a VMware ESXi5 or some sort of virtualization, so I require say:
    * Quadcore
    * 8-16 gigs of ram
    * 2x1tb hdds (hardware raid)
    * 100mbit uplink port
    * Unmetered traffic or 10tb
    * /28 or /27 subnet

    Anyone good any companies they could recommend?

    If the title says "European", I think it would be Europe....

    I'd go with Leaseweb on this one . They have a pretty solid network and the all important Netherlands DC .

    From what countries in Europe are most of your clients coming from?
    It might be interesting on finding a provider near there.

    Indeed, latency matters so the closer you can locate the servers to your clients, the better the service you be providing them...

    I live in Faroe Islands, and most customers are from here aswell.
    Faroe Islands has got submarines going directly to Iceland, Shetland/Scotland and UK mainland. We've got 3 PoP's in UK in total. Peering directly TDC and DTAG (Deutsche Telekom) and ofcourse, Telia and Cogent aswell.

    Most of Europe is less than 10-15 hops and ~50ms away.

    As for LeaseWeb, I think this might be a good choice, since they peer with Telia and DTAG.
    I just made a traceroute to them, and I go over London via Telia, so thats great!

    However, most of the external traffic goes via UK, so UK might eventually be the better choice.

    A lot of our traffic goes that way on FARICE also. There are certainly a lot of good providers in the UK, and your latency to London I'm guessing would be maybe only 25 ms (ours is under 40, so yours must be quite a bit less).

    Is there a particular latency target you are trying to meet?

    Yeah, our latency to UK is around 25-30ms.
    I am not trying to meet any specific latency target, however anything around 50-60ms would do.
