what is the best alternative country to host

stevenph

i have a qatar based website and it requires a fast webserver but local DC and providers are so expensive - what alternative country that can still deliver a fast speed?

J1021

Edis will soon be offering VPS servers located in Dubai (UAE).

@William

rds100

For anything in that area probably Germany would be the best / fastest.

I think you should do some research by yourself. From which route Qatar or connects is important. France, England, Italy is a good choice and best probable one. However,

India?

May be some reliable providers from Turkey.

Is there any specific basis for your assumption that it won't go "Qatar -> Frankfurt/Amsterdam/London -> that other country"? Or were you simply clueless about how networking goes in these underdeveloped regions, and just giving "advice" looking at a geographic map? Yeah, thought so.

@rm_ Guess they looking for some regional based provider..

stevenph

EU

does determining the best provider is to TEST for the following:

• ping (i know ping the lower rtt is the better)
• traceroute (the lower hops the better? pls correct me if i am wrong)

======

lets me START with PING

FRANCE
