Looking for very low latency London server for Polymarket

KillerScope · September 19

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a dedicated server or high performance VPS in London specifically for Polymarket CLOB access.

I tested all four AWS London Availability Zones and euw2 consistently gave me the best real world websocket delivery latency. In my AWS account this maps to EU West 2C.

Ideally I am looking for infrastructure in the same datacenter as the relevant AWS and Polymarket infrastructure, or as physically close to it as possible.

Best case would be a provider that can offer a direct cross connect, private fibre path, or exceptionally low latency route toward the Polymarket infrastructure and AWS.

Requirements are fairly simple:

Windows

VPS/VDS/BM

Good single core performance

1 Gbps or better

Extremely low latency and jitter

Excellent AWS London connectivity

If anyone has infrastructure in the right London facility or can run some latency tests from their network, please let me know.

If you have anything, feel free to comment or DM me.

Thank you.

Hello

We have VPS hosting in London. If you can let me know a test IP I'd be happy to check on the latency for you.

https://www.ethernetservers.com/vps-hosting

By the way, we have a promotion active where we're offering double CPU cores, bandwidth or disk space. All you have to do is comment your order number over here.

Why not just stick with AWS

Hi,

Sorry this is not London.

MTR results tested via port 443 show the lowest average latency of 0.6 ms at Hong Kong DC1. The other DC (US, Singapore, Tokyo) arround 1-3ms.

Out of curiosity, could you run MTR/Traceroute and ping the Polymarket service, then share the results here? There might be other providers who could offer you their infrastructure.

That's not really going to lead you anywhere. That's Cloudflare. You need to make an actual HTTP/S request and measure latency that way (and make sure you aren't hitting the cache), or, as OP wanted, a WebSocket connection.

Even a node in Bangladesh is going to have good latency when you measure it like you are.

clob.polymarket.com is the target. The issue is, as pointed out by @Obelous is that that's cloudflare, I rented so far 7 servers to try and pinpoint the data center (4 in LDN and 3 in DUB), sadly they all are hitting cloudflare, what I'd like to do is find the actual data center where the PolyMarket(PM) clob servers are, if I am unable to do that, then have a server that has the lowest latency from PM-Cloudflare-MyVPS.

It's a tricky one.

You will never hit the server directly instead of CF - that's not how it works. You will always go through CF.
