    US Based VPS with fast speeds from Australia

    Hi, I'm new around here

    I am searching for a US based Managed VPS provider with the low latency from Australia. I'm assuming a west coast host would be a must for this.

    Being in a different time zone, having decent support late at night US time is pretty important.

    Any opinions from Australians or Americans is much appreciated.

    Hi a fellow Aussie here,

    I have a VPS with VPSLink.com who is part of Spry, and they are in Seattle. Less than 200ms from Sydney from my home ADSL2+ link.

    However, how much latency is a bit different from how much bandwidth you can push through the pipe. While 200ms is considered "fast-enough" across Pacific, personally I found it's hard to sustain any big downloads/uploads from my VPS. I don't think I can even do 50kbytes/s each way.

    It might be just the ISP (I'm with Optus so going through Singtel). I can easily satuate upload bandwidth (around 100kbytes/s) push data to my account in DreamHost (Optus->Singtel->Gblx), but can't do it from ISP (Netspace->Verizon->Level3)

    Look at rackforce.com. It's a good VPS in US.

    There is A LOT of VPS providers in west coast, it should be easy to find. What is your motivations to go in USA? Do you think Australia is too expensive? I would agree that the bandwidth there is quite pricy...

    Thanks for the replys. I ended up taking advantage of their 35% off coupon and signing up with spry.com.

    That IP is about 290ms from the West Coast of Australia. I am getting about 250ms from my spry.com account.

    245.99ms from Adelaide, South Australia.

    FYI
    34.66ms to my vps in Sydney at Net Logistics
    I have found this typical of Aust->US

    And that IP address is not even on the US west coast. It is in Chicago.

    Worse, from Sydney traceroute shows the packets actually travel to Washington DC via Congent's network, before coming back to Chicago. 230ms.

    Congratulation. 250ms from WA to Seattle is not bad.

    I think Singapore based VPS should also be good, especially since you are in WA. It's around 140ms from Sydney, and might be less than 100ms from WA if packets are not routed all over the place.

    I can tell that Singapore is about 150ms from Sydney (datacenter to datacenter).
