+1 for Greenland. Somewhere closer to Nuuk.Truly green datacenters
+1 North Korea
Looking for your map, there is a gap in south Europe
, so my vote goes to Portugal. If you need some contacts I can help.
Get a non CC Chicago location.
There certainly seems to be an opening in the South American / Africa regions but of course without having to list them all I am sure the issues with those areas are why not.
I still would like Iceland because it's in the EU but "off piste" rather than it being for privacy or freedom of speech.
If you don't know.. EU meant European Union, not a whole Europe, Iceland not a EU member
Iceland is a member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), a grouping of four non-EU European countries, is also part of the European Economic Area (EEA) and the Schengen Area.
Yes, I did know that, I worded that line incorrectly. Not sure whether I am more disappointed at my own error or that fact it was you that picked me up on it.
Belgium, only a few providers there.
North Korea, just the best location.
Rusia, everyone likes a Russian IP as well.
Atlantis. The Moon.
Hilarious jokes aside, I would be so happy if someone would get something up and running in Cyprus or Malta at a decent price. The EU's newest member - Croatia - is also rather underserved.
It looks like someone guessed where cities were without using a real map for reference. Almost all the markers are at least a bit off, but Chicago is the worst by far: you have it in Canada, about a thousand miles north of where it should be. Buffalo's a good deal east of where it really is.
Here's the two on Google Maps (squished to have the same perspective as your map) -- note that Buffalo is more north than Chicago:
And your map:
We have this coming up
"Multiple Datacenter Locations" "Select the best location based on latency, or deploy across regions for high availability."
I like how DO's website being copied too much.
I know that there IS a DC in KP... have direct peering to China Unicom.
Really? Are there any DCs in GL?
I'm sure Tele Greenland must have one at least.
Edit: they do have one, http://www.datacentermap.com/greenland/nuuk/tele-greenland-nuuk.html
Yes this ^. All your map points are incorrect.
Lol. Our site predates them by quite a bit
Good point on the map tho it's designed to be indicative rather than an actual map. Will get it sorted.
Yep only small thing, they not pay VAT taxes as EU does..and now US
I heard that China Unicom builds the datacenter. But I never find one who offer service in North Korea...
No one does and no one will for a long time, it's clearly a military installation like most things in KP.
Thanks for all the great suggestions guys (and the tongue in cheek ones)!
We hope to announce some of the suggested locations soon!
@dediserve - Will close this and you can open another in the future to tell us when Iceland opens up :P
