Recommendations Please
Hi,
I am currently in need of a webhost which has good peering and low latency from US to Singapore. If I didn't remember wrongly, the nearest US datacentre (in terms of distance) to Singapore are the DCs in California. However, I have no idea how the route goes.
Anyway, I am expecting ping replies from the webhosting server to hit below 200ms and accelerated server uploading speed (for file downloads) from US to Singapore and vice versa. Currently, I have not set a budget on it and I am open to recommendations, advices and suggestions.
It would be best if a test IP or a test download link can be provided to me.
I thank you for your time on reading this thread. Please feel free to PM me with regards to this topic as well.
Have a nice day.
Regards

Hi,
I would recommend checking with the host's speedtest and datacenter info before signing up to accommodate your location. Send them a sales email over for server to ping from as well, as many hosts do have servers in multiple locations you also might want to be specifically placed in a certain location.
Do your research and look for reviews before signing up.
best of luck

You are looking for a host based in US or based in Singapore with latency below 200ms?

If speed & latency is your main concern, why not find a singapore web host instead if most people from singapore? I am sure there are singapore providers here.

Hi,
You could give icdsoft.com a look, as they have servers in a HK datacentre (iAdvantage). I'm in a similar situation, and this one seems to fit my requirements, and I think they allow a switch to the US data centre if requested.
cheers.

Simpli in CA, and my ping result from Vietnam to my server at Simpli is around 210ms, before the earth quake. The only disadvantage is they dont have staff on site at night-time, but the network is good
