London datacenters

I am looking for a VPS for hosting game servers.
Which datacenters in London (or anywhere in Europe) would have the latencies to North and South America (and have resellers that sell VPSs)?

Comments

  • What latencies are you looking for? Why not just host these servers in the US?

    Are you looking for provider suggestions or purely DCs ?

    Telecity / RapidSwitch / OVH

    We have VPS's available in Hampshire, UK which is about 2hrs away from London :)
    http://stormvz.com/ukvps.html

    Hampshire, UK Test IP:
    109.200.26.19

    Let me know if your interested / custom plan

    Data centres in UK Melbourne IT / RapidSwitch / Redstation / Pulsant

  • shardhost: it's a little complicated, but basically I need lower latency to European locations than US locations. Ultimately I'm looking for providers in good DCs.

  • Not exactly london, but some of the cheapest UK vps servers can be found here:

    We have a 2x /24 in the UK so we can give you as many IPs as you need (with justification)

    Test: hermes.nodedeploy.com

  • stormvz looks good for pings

    is it openvz though?

  • @flood said: is it openvz though?

    On their order page, the rotating banner on the bottom has an OpenVZ logo, and no KVM/Xen ones, so I'm going to assume yes. @StormVZ you should probably put that your VPSes are OVZ somewhere on your site, maybe in the FAQ.

    Got Kent which is just outside London (London is generally very expensive). Test IP: 91.227.221.134

    Wherebouts in Kent? Kent is pretty big.
    If you haven't noticed btw, I'm lazy, I cba to look it up.

    OVH is in London?

  • @Infinity I have a VPS in London from OVH. Or it's just geo-located there.

    @flood Yes it's OpenVZ

    @Ishaq OVH don't have uk dc so it is geolocated from France

    It's Geo-located, the company you got it from is probably based in London. I thought you'd have noticed by the ping..

    EDIT: Screw you StormVZ, you beat me..

    Maidstone (the Maidstone Studios actually!)

  • @Infinity Thought it was geo-located, yeah. And it's direct from OVH.

    @dominicl said: RapidSwitch

    I don't think it's DC, they are using Blue Square data centre in maidenhead

    Try http://www.datacenter9.com/datacenters/united-kingdom

  • eh actually I'm looking for anything not openvz (need to be able to change kernels)

  • @Liam thank you!

    in London, we offer openvz and KVM at both London Telehouse (212.13.200.49) and LDEX (37.220.104.22). Telehouse only has SSD plans, LDEX has SAS/SATA and SSD.

    cheers -
    oz.

  • LDEX seems to have far more better connectivity.

    Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone have a vps with nLayer connectivity and peer within LINX?
