Warsaw
Forget China
All OVH DCs are too slow to China
Cheapest solution to have acceptable connection to China is proxying with Cloudflare
Thanks for replying!!
How is warsaw is good? I mean in terms of stability...
SBG was meant for east europe and asia out of the three in france.
I disagree, because most russians ISPs are reached via frankfurt from OVH, so you have Warsaw -> Frankfurt -> Russia.
So i would say go with the DC in Frankfurt for russian audience, that is even better than their SBG DC.
Have a lot of servers in SBG1 and SBG2, get great peering to China, India and Japan.
Sorry for offtop, do they offer vps / cloud servers in RBX?
You can order a server in RBX from ovhcloud com
I think RBX is the best location. Tracerts hit rbx first, then go to London, SBG
Do not listen anyone who offer Poland location. It has awful peering for long time, and it will never resolved. Also, don't listen people who talk about Germany Hosting, it's bad too, because traffic again goes though RBX or SBG.
For great latency for CIS countries you need to host your server ideally in SBG, but RBX will be good too.
Good pings to Russian, worst to the rest of the world.
RBX is perfect for CIS. However, I can't figure out if I could get a VPS in the same location...
So, rbx or sbg...???
For Russia & CIS - RBX, for the Middle East and North Africa - SBG.
But keep in mind, they do not provide VPS in RBX location.
If its to the East of France: SBG, if its to the North of France: RBX
Sometimes I get pings to SBG around 60-80 ms from Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Probably it goes by land.
RBX is for nordics and baltics, SBG for asia, middle east and russia. Theres no passthrough to russia from north europe/baltics so don't choose RBX unless the audience lives in north russian territory. OVH is not using c-lion submarine cable that connects finland with russia.
So, I chose sbg?
Ideally you'd rent a server from each of those locations, Russia, Ukraine, China or somehow have a person there typing "ping" command to each of the OVH looking glass IPs to compare which OVH location gives best ping, as for the peering/download speeds, that can be tested with iperf3 test.
If my target was china and it must be OVH, I would go with Singapore location, if russia and ukraine is equally important, then SBG would be my choice. SBG will not be too much better to china than RBX and GRA, but theres still noticeable difference though.
OVH has funny routing overall. Usually optimized for... OVH
Why not take a VPS in both Strasburg and Warsaw each and check first hand how things work for you? Then make an informed decision instead of listening to generalizations like "Have a lot of servers in SBG1 and SBG2, get great peering to China, India and Japan" or offtopic like "Sometimes I get pings to SBG around 60-80 ms from Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Probably it goes by land"
I agree.
First hand experience > everything else.
You'll go blind.
I don't think so.
..and your wallet will cry.
LOL.
Maybe.
But I know the truth.
The truth is nigh.
Ok, without example it is hard to understand:
As you can see, tracert from Saudi Arabia to OVH Stragbourg took around 65 ms.
Thanks, interesting (to me at least), except... how is all that relevant to OP's request: I need they have a very good peering to russia, Ukraine, China, etc...
Asia includes Saudi Arabia:

Just a Kangaroo in the snow in Austria. So its true!!
I don't care saudi, I care more Russia and all eastern Europe...
But how is goin whit Western Europe Strasbourg?
