Alexhost - New location: we want to hear your opinion
Hello.
We want to hear your opinion. We have already conducted this poll on our Telegram channel. However, we would like to hear the opinions of our customers or former customers.
Regarding new locations, what would you like to see? What type of location would you prefer? Is there anything specific you would like to see, such as hardware or a door?
We are open to hearing your opinion. Whether you are a customer or partner, please share your thoughts on a possible new location. Is there anything new you expect to see or would like to see? What would make you buy a VPS for €10 per month, for example?
Note: This does not mean that the new location with the most votes will be the one chosen. We are simply gathering opinions and feedback.
If the location you want is not in the poll, just comment.
Best Regards,
Alexhost

Another victim of Vanilla poll
Yes. Fixed now.
what is crowtia? Croatia?
Finland or Norway look most interesting.
Anything with a good connection to Europe and Asia in a rare location but with good bandwidth (the more unicorn-like, the better). But honestly, the biggest thing that draws me to a VPS is flexibility. If I can ask for another 512 MB RAM without having to bump up to a higher tier, or shave off a few cents a month by cutting the storage size down a bit, I'm going to be very interested no matter where it is.
A mahogany door, please.
I run a lot of Tor relays (among other services) on nearly 40 VPSes, so I'm on a tight budget. For €10, it would have to be in a very rare location and would have to have >30 TB/month bandwidth and decent specs. You may say that it's impossible to get something cheap in such a location for that price, but I'm paying something like $4/month for a VPS in Serbia with an amazing network, 20 TB/month bandwidth, and two Ryzen 9 vCPUs with CPU performance better than any VPS I've ever used. So it definitely is possible to find a host like that.
Kosovo, anything in Northern Africa, or Australia.
Yes. We can't edit. Sorry.

We understand perfectly. The problem is sometimes the price of connectivity in these countries. Costs are generally higher. And now with the price of RAM increasing and soon SSD/NMVe drives, it will be another problem.
We want to offer something consistent. We don't want to offer products or services that are not sustainable in the long term. Because that's what determines a good product.
The price also cannot be too cheap. Some things have to be sacrificed if we want to maintain good performance.
These locations are rare. But to what extent would more people be interested? That is the question. Not everyone would be interested, even if it is rare. So it would be easier in a better-known location.
That's true. I'm the kind of customer that takes risks with heavy annual discounts on hosts that may or may not exist in 6 months because diversity is more important than reliability for me. In your case, you're certainly trying to keep a sustainable business.
The thing that would draw me at that price point then would be any European country that you don't often see VPSes in. Bandwidth isn't too expensive in Hungary or Slovenia, for example, but there are still a hell of a lot fewer hosts there than in, say, the Netherlands or Germany.
Oh, and AMD SEV-SNP. I'd pay €10/m for a VPS in Europe with high bandwidth if it supports that, even if it's not in the rarest country.
Based on my preference for countries, I like Japan. Based on ping, Germany is better.€10 is a bit expensive for me. I often use VS Code Remote Development, and I’m only working on small projects, so I don’t need very high specs for compiling.
Taiwan
all mjjs vote .hk and .sg
where is Crowtia ?
all location you find under 10 $ a month, so no thanks
I need Japan IIJ Network
Japan it will be interesting
Did you see the recent CVE on this? https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-3027.html
HongKong and Singapore of course
BTW, they are all DMCA free? if you have 60 euro per year Asia DMCA free VPS, that will be hot i think, the only Asia DMCA vps on the market at this moment is Malaysia vps like Shinjiru, they are expensive
Lagos, Nigeria would be really good.
Due to its location it has acceptable ping everywhere:
To Europe, to Middleeast/India, but also to US.
And it's outside those bureaucratic super-blocks that make life unnecessary difficult for people.
And Johannesbourg, South Africa would also be nice.
Sorry, but this is simply not true. In fact, Lagos has high pings to almost every region of the world (except African countries).
I took a RIPE Atlas measurements for Lagos by 5 providers with servers there:
In all cases latency to Europe is over 100ms, to US almost 200ms and to Asia even going as high as 300ms (mostly because it's routed via Europe anyways).
any where dmca-free and allowed public torrents
Czech Republic
Hong Kong & Norway
Yep, but the mitigation for that is trivial if you don't have a microcode update yet:
Pinging some of my other servers from my Sitehub server in NG:
Yep, nothing under 100 ms.
Norway or Finland would be nice
Norway? And which price you are available to buy for example?
If you had to choose one, which would it be and why?
Japan is interesting. Which plans you like to see? How much would you be willing to pay for quality? But Japan is not DMCA ignored for certain content.
The problem here is, you buy it and a few other people, but are people willing to pay for something like this in Europe with high ping? Is it worth it? Are they willing, for example, to have 100Mbps, 500Mbps in Nigeria or Hong Kong and the like? If we do 1Gbps, the price can't be cheap. Due to RAM costs and connectivity in Asia, it's not exactly cheap.
Note: And the Crowtia is Croatia. We can't edit anymore. If you voted in the wrong, please remove and vote again. We genuinely want your feedback.

Finland is first pick for me
I'd say Finland since it'd be closer to Russia, also the exchange rate for NOK is fxng insane and pretty much everything is more expensive (which if you work in Norway is compensated by a higher salary, but for the rest of us it's not...).
Actually I know this for a fact from my last 2 employers. And to top it off it's annoying to register .no domains
EDIT: Also Telia has kickass peering and is a big player in Finland as well
