which location do you guys think is the most friendly for english blogging?
After contacting with admin of leb with several times to be a coaurthor without any response. i am planning to start blogging with english version of vmvps.com(a chinese blog as long as ~ 1year and a half) with another domain.
the first thing i met is which location do you think is the most friendly to u.s. and europe readers, of course, with speed and stability respect.
Comments
It really depends. East Coast will be good for US, Europe and areas around there and West Coast is good for the US and Oceania/Asia.
You should be alright in any US location.
You could always throw a CDN in the mix to fix problem areas.
If your aim is mainly US, probably Chicago/KC/Dallas.
For a blog it wouldn't matter that much. It should work well anywhere in USA/Europe.
Definately UK/NL. Most of cable landing points are there for US/EU/Asia
This. I doubt latency or bandwidth throughput will matter much.
@jaakka but it seems that us is better then euro for asia.
US will be better. Kansas City is good; we can offer VPS there
I've also tried to contact LowEndBox/Talk about helping write posts but I've been ignored.
chicago or kansas city would be good to cover all of the us, while new york is good for eu as well
pm me if i may be able to help with the blog
English blogging? To be completely honest, I'd suggest Canada.
@Chief isn't some kind of magical blog writer, he is a nice guy that wanted to help people on low budget out. He first had to start all on his own, but people like @Liam @Infinity and MANY more wanted to help. Look where we are now: many writers, helpdesk for both hosting companies and the writers to submit their text and a full grown community forum.
@Chief has created something beatiful, almost gave up, but he did it: get it rolling without his attendance further needed.
We should all respect the time @Chief has taken, or we won't be here right now. I suggest all of you the same: first start on your own and dedicate some time to it until people see its value and want to help.
You just showed how little you know about LEB, Chief didn't even start it.
I said Chief but meant LEA
France O:-)
@BronzeByte I have no offense about Chief. and what I want to do is just to begin something new. As a blogger, I know how annoying keeping posting regularly. And I am highly grateful about the work he done.
@jarland u r right about CDN. But I really want to focus on posting what i want. and cdn is only needed when readers reports about the speed.
Maybe that's why you can't be a writer?
@Ishaq come on man. i am posting via mobile phone at home...
Ok..
The server location isn't too important, however East Coast USA/Western Europe (as people have already stated) are good ideas.
If I were you, I'd have all images/static content on a seperate subdomain with cloudflare infront of it. Therefore, you get the CDN goodness of CloudFlare without their javascript 'optimisation' bloat.
Anywhere in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
That's the only true English speaking country after all.
Will you also post the offers or reviews on that site?
@dearroy yes

Dewlance? Seriously?
I must tell some ppl in China just love offer like theirs.
@Chan Can you please show me more about your opinion. I can see nothing from comments of neither this post nor the offer page.
I would have redirected you to webhostingfail but since it's gone now, well.... (they had a rather long list of stuff about Dewlance)
For now, do a bit of Google and have a look at old posts here perhaps?
I'm sure you'll be able to find more negative reviews/posts of them if you take a look
If I remember correctly, they do these kind of things (plus some others):
/s possibly sue me for writing this
If I were you, I wouldn't recommend Dewlance to save my own reputation
@Chan Thanks for your reply. and I have added your sources to the orginal post. More opinions about my blog are appreciated.
