why usa hosting?
Providing our hosting in the USA confers the following advantages:
- more cost-efficient infrastructure
- massive bandwith data pipes unlike anything available in Australia
- common language for technical support
- fewer router-hops to international
markets
- no disadvantage to domestic markets because:
- multi-hop routers across the Pacific
work better handling
requests from Australia
to the USA than
vice-versa
- heavy USA business-hours traffic is quiet when Australian bandwith
requirements are at their maximum (whereas, Australian-located servers
will be running at peak capacity)
All this adds up to the best hosting package you can buy, short of making the
investment to place your own server into a co-located arrangement in
a similar data-center (something we can assist with, too, if you wish).
