Best Location for a VPS

Assuming the membership here is fairly representative of the low end market, I'm curious as to what locations most interest you guys. We're thinking about expanding from Dallas soon. If you could pick one (only one) location for a VPS out of these, which would it be :

-Chicago
-New York
-Phoenix
-Atlanta
-Seattle

Or is Dallas the best? :P

    The best for who exactly?

    Phoenix, Chicago and Dallas give an average connectivity to all the US.
    West coast for Asia, East coast for Europe.

    For you! I don't want estimates for what's the best for everyone. Just a survey of what's the best for you guys individually.

    +1 to Atlanta or New York.

    LOL!
    For me... Mexico please xD
    But Dallas is ok :P 40-60 ms

    Dallas. Only because I'm 2 hours away from it and you'll just be tempting me even further.

  • VPNshVPNsh Member, Host Rep

    New York for me.

  • +1 for NY

    LOL...what does that mean?

    "Already well covered" I could see, but overcrowded?

  • Seattle would be nice. The other locations, Atlanta excluded, have significant LEB host presence.

  • I like Orlando FL, Jacksonville FL, Chicago IL

  • Which one is having the best / fast connection to Asia?

  • CloudxtnyHostCloudxtnyHost Member, Host Rep

    Seattle has some really decently priced co-location DC's and has strong connections to Asia.

    I choose Seattle then

  • AlexBarakovAlexBarakov Patron Provider, Veteran

    We are getting ~180-210ms to Asia from our Seattle nodes. Does not seem great to me, however none of our asian customers has complained so far about the latency.

    @LiquidHost said: ~180-210ms

    That is good. I never get below 260ms to ALL my vps. Mostly 300ms.

  • @NanoG6 : Bangun jam berapa mas? Subuh? Hehe

  • jamsonjamson Member

    1 more vote for Seattle :)

    Hehe.. Same as me :D. Sometimes at 2, and didn't sleep again after that

  • jcalebjcaleb Member

    West Coast

  • @Liam,

    thanks for the comment. We are the VPS Mafia and we are coming to a town near you. Think I might trademark that....haha.

    We actually already are working on a Seattle deal to figure out if we can squeeze in a few nodes in and sell our cheap stuff to ya. ;) San Jose is over-crowded, plus its just not my cup of tea.

    Los Angeles.

    I might be biased though since I live in Australia...

  • KairusKairus Member

    I think Dallas is a good location, good connectivity, and central location. Surprisingly not a lot of providers have Dallas VPSes.

  • DerekDerek Member

    Toledo :)
