From Indonesia I'd prefer Los Angeles/Quadranet, and Seattle.
Incero also fast from Indonesia.
Have a look here: http://www.submarinecablemap.com/
All communications from Asia to the USA will flow over one of these submarine cables, ideally over the pacific ocean. Theoretically, therefore, you'll want your server to be wherever in the USA your ISP peers with which will most likely be somewhere in California - Los Angeles and San Jose are a high probability.
Try pinging a few providers in Los Angeles, San Jose, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle.
any west coast US in general has better connectivity to Asia, so its range from Seattle, portland, fremont, san jose, phoenix, los angeles, las vegas, utah.
for asia, you can try India, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore.
Where in Asia? If you are try to connect to China via China Telecom or China Unicom, I would say latency is not the most important thing (unless you use it for VOIP or gaming).
From my experience, the popular routes get saturated during peak hours very quickly.
For example, popular routes such as Level3, nLayer/GTT, Above.net, PCCW. You can get like a 170ish ms latency during peak, but if you try to download anything, it is gonne be limited to anywhere between 10kb/s ~ 200kb/s. This is compare to around 5mb/s off-peak.
On the other hand, the less popular routes such as Hurricane Electric and Comcast gets horrible latency like 200ms - 300ms. Although you get 3mb/s - 7mb/s all day long.
+1.
from Phnom Penh I get 190ms to Quadranet in LA and 230ms to Seattle/ramnode.
Ping from VietNam to Los Angeles, San Diego and Seattle are good (normally <200ms)
Multacom LA: http://ca.lg.cloudshards.net/
@dobuz - its not just location, its also the underlying network. A lot of the West coast 'providers' will sell you something like Hurricane Electric or Cogent which despite being in LA will give you sucky performance into Asia.
Where are you actually located?
All you gotta do is look at up to date submarine cable maps and capacities. Los Angeles and Seattle are clearly the places to be.
There appear to be lots of terminations around Hilsboro Oregon and it's ideally in the middle but I don't think there is much in the way of public data centers around there.

why US? I've better ping to DE/NL than US
I've VPS from stylexnetwork and really fast
same datacenter with fliphost above
Colocrosing is the best choice.
You could try pinging us if you like at raptornode.com, Were at coresite LA.
Fremont will be your best bet Intovps.com
Mas bro, can't ping your host, is it rapornode.com or raptornode.com ?
RaptorNode.com, Sorry for the mistake been typing so fast today.
@halzcy @MarkTurner, I am currently based in Malaysia, Asia. Gonna take some IP and start pinging elsewhere and see the latency
@dobuz - PM me your IP
@MarkTurner just PMed you.
i need to correct myself, my best ping from Malaysia so far is to LA, not Atlanta.
LA should be best.
Why don't you just get a VPS in Asia? I've found places that offer VPS in Asia for the same price as USA. Some options are Vultr, DigitalOcean, and LeapSwitch. I've tried Vultr and LeapSwitch and had no problems with them. You could also get a VPS in Australia which would have good speed with Asia (an offer from RansomIT was just posted the other day on LEB). You might already know this, but just in case you don't, I would be very careful about getting a VPS in China (as they have VERY restrictive rules and you must send an application to their government before you can host a website).
Just get a VPS in Singapore since you are in Malaysia. The connectivity should be direct in this case.
@ub3rstar and @ExpertVM , reason i'm asking about host in US because stability is a concern, and the best source to look for stability is from the recent completed poll result, where 80% host are from the US.
Go for RAMNODE Seattle location then. Currently I'm getting(traceroute) <200ms from West Coast U.S, <90ms from Vultr Japan and <15ms from DO Singapore.
Malaysian here.
Agreed. Apart from LA, San Jose have good ping to MY as well.
Los Angeles, CA
"Asia" is pretty large ... depends on which part of Asia you're looking at.
For example, TATA comm routes all US-India traffic through Europe.
In which case, the East coast US would be better ... and EU locations better still.
This.
Seattle and LA, generally.
