Are you in one of these countries?

I'm developing a special-interest website for a group of users in these countries:

Iceland
Faroe Islands
Greenland
Norway
Canada (Atlantic)

I'm wondering where to locate it to get best connectivity for all. Currently it's hosted in the NE US.

If you live in one of these countries and have a few minutes to spare to do a ping and traceroute and browse a few pages, drop me a PM here.

I don't want to make the domain public here as it's still early days, and I don't want search engines, crawlers, etc. (yet!).

Oh, I've got eastern Canada covered so no problem there

Have a look here http://www.cablemap.info/ to see where is the best location where most of those countries connect to.

Also this thread might also be useful http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/1127/lowendprovider-in-nordic-coutries

If you want to be in the middle of those listed, then I think Iceland would be the best location.

Excelent site @Centaur

But it has only sea routes, any idea on something for inland?

does pei count?

@Centaur: thanks, nice map.

@justinb: of course pei counts! But I'm not worried about your connectivity to the NE US.

I would host it from Germany, because generally they have good routing to nordic countries in europe. And for Canada it's not that bad either. I mean it's better than any nordic country has.

I could help you out with tests from Netherlands and from Finland.
