We have been using OVH canda for a while, we don't have any problems but I think we need to have other locations apart from canada, any suggestions?
Comments
France kvm would be great. At least myself would like few of them.
Thanks, as of now we only plan to offer Openvz but we'll add KVM too
OpenVZ is not good at all, One abuser and vps will not be accessible for others. You would better have small plans rather overselling big plans. Just a personal suggestion.
I guess you're right!
Go for South Africa
Suggestion of the year, why you did'nt go with South Africa yourself?
I live in the UK, so ping time ain't good for me. He asked for a suggestion, i suggest South Africa as its not got alot of providers = target marget = money to be made.

What do you guys think of Lithuania as a KVM location?
I don't have any vps in Lithuania, but if you'll KVM offer there that would be great
We're discussing with various providers, let's see how it goes.
Cheap australia ones. Netherlands ones that aren't overloaded. Ukraine. Czech Republic. Panama, isle of man
Already taken. VPS.co.za (9 year old company) had a LEB XEN offer at the beginning of the year and I'm not switching!!!! :P (no downtime in 7 months since signing up)
South Africa has extremely high bandwidth prices (bandwidth can cost up to $1 per GB) so it is even less of an option as a location for most small startup VPS providers than Brazil if you want to turn a profit.
150ms-160ms ping times from my VPS in Cape Town to London, 210-220ms to NYC, 280-290ms to Los Angeles, 360-370ms to Hong Kong
I'm somewhat not too firm on the location, I've come up with 2 choices, France and Lithuania, can someone please suggest which would be the best location? Thinking of offering KVM.
France would be great rather than Lithuania. Myself will have at least 2-3 kvm, maybe more.
Have decided to skip both location and went with Dallas, TX, launching KVM plans in a couple of days!
@ultimatehostings with what DC?
It's the Incero Dallas facility.
Netherland has RamNode and Iniz.
I mean it depends on your client base, were in Detroit because of convenience (local to us) and a lot of our clients are relatively close to us in the US.
That's true however that is not the case with us, we have clients spread across different countries.
We're almost ready to launch the new KVM packages, just wanted everyone to know about the same. Did some tests, let me know how they are;
