There is way to many Atlanta providers already so probaly Phoenix or Washington.
@RA4W Thanks for your opinion.
I've never actually had a server in Washington D.C so it would be interesting. Phoenix is not a bad choice either.
@Brad The disadvantage about Phoenix is that it backhauls into LA directly, while Washinton D.C. is the biggest internet hub on the east coast (due to WorldCom).
IAD gives you better bandwidth / connectivity options to major IX's on the East Coast.
7 ms from NY(C).
Washington D.C
I'd give consideration to something in DC. Gotta get more green circles.
Thanks for your votes. So it'll be Washington D.C. (Ashburn).
@Kris However we'll most likely not use IAD, but another DC in Ashburn.
How many circles you on now?
22 little, 2 medium, 1 big.
I used to work for this company (AKA Verizon) in Ashburn. They definitely have TONS of connectivity in the area, but that's true with all of the Ashburn/Sterling/Dulles Airport area--every other building is a datacenter, it seems.
Must have been a cool job. I wonder why there aren't more hosting providers in this area, as there are so many DC's there. Equinix has a large campus in Washington DC as well.
+1 Phoenix, AZ. Good ping from Asia.
I don't have any data to back this up, but my guess is that those DCs are more expensive. Despite there being so many of them, there's a ton of demand there, too, and those DCs are more often than not "premium," and with many focused on their federal clients.
Equinix and Google are right around the corner from Verizon as well, as is Facebook in DFT.
Of course these DCs are more expensive than something in Atlanta, but you can get a good deal with some providers like Voxility.
I prefer Phoenix, AZ
@FirstVM_com Why do you prefer Phoenix?
Still looking for Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico
I have a server in Ashburn
@Jeffrey With which provider and in which DC?
Hi
Why do I get 403 Forbidden for most pages on your site?
e.g. http://fyrehosting.com/cloud-servers/
First I got 403, then I ended up port 8080
Service based out of Norway would be nice, but sticking to the list I'd like to see Phoenix get more love. I'm from Phoenix and would like to see more technical industry here.
I phoned the number 1-855-226-3846 and it's just a voice mail which asks for an extension.
Ashburn is Virginia, not D.C.
@sleddog @shovenose It's fixed now, it was an issue with the Varnish cache.
@AlexanderM The phone support will be fully setup within 2 weeks.
@mpkossen Many providers have their datacenter in Ashburn and advertise it as Washington D.C., SoftLayer is just one example.
I'd love it if their IPs have the same geo-location.
@jimmyvu It all depends on the address that they use in the WHOIS and finding a datacenter in Washington itself would be pretty hard, since even large providers like Equinix have their Washington facilities in Ashburn or Mansas.
Washington D.C. is good choice and it is leading here with large scale
InfoRelay operates 4 data centers in the washington dc/ashburn area. An increasing number of businesses are making use of server housing and bandwidth services as Washington DC grows to be the biggest internet hub on the east coast.
