Best VPS for middle eastern website
Hi folks, i'm new here and need advice
i'm looking for a VPS as i'm fed up with shared hostings
i've got a single WordPress based website that has got lots of plugins and stuff
with multiple child domain working as CDNs
i need your advice for a VPS that can handle lots of db requests and moderate traffic 10k per month or something
i can go with an un-managed vps as i know my way around Linux for over a decade now
the main goal for the website is to load fast for all of the middle east, but like i said i'm new to VPS hosting providers and don't know where should i choose or what
also an advice on wordpress what specs for the VPS should be sufficient ?

I'm currently with @onapp_terry 's cloud.net in dubai, a 512mb/20gb server with 100gb traffic costs 13.7 usd/month, so that might not be your best choice cost (or bandwidth) wise, but it's probably the best choice with regards to location.
Aside from that, france seems to be the weapon-of-choice for most middle-eastern stuff.
Would Germany be a good choice for you? http://speedtest.templeservers.com/lookinglass
try this: http://lg-milano.prometeus.net
Which country do you live in?
I can offer you an Israeli, Egypt, Turkish and U. A. E. (United Arab Emirates) location. The prices are very affordable.
Israel: Petach Tikva, Rosh Haayin, Rosh Haayin (2) and Tel Aviv locations.
10 Gbit/s connection speed.. 5000GB traffic included.
Check Kamatera Express: https://www.kamatera.com/express/compute/products.php
VPSFast.US: Turkish, Egypt and U. A. E. locations available. Affordable price..
Attention: VPS in UAE is only available for pre-order. If you order your VPS now you will have your VPS ready within 3 weeks.
Other Turkish providers: cloudef.com, ttshosting.com.tr, serneta.com, eselax.com, muvhost.com, altinsoft.com, axerhosting.com
Other Israeli providers: vpsfast.us, nsa.co.il, hqserv.co.il
Latency from most of middle east to central/eastern Europe isn't bad, and just for a website pretty much anything around there will do. I'd guess the Wordpress install with the "lots of plugins" is more of a problem than the latency right off though.
yes i can see that German locations has a low latency compared to US
but the prices are very high was thinking of something 5$ or less monthly
If german prices are high, then middle-eastern ones are scratching the moon surface.
lol yeah they are
Do you need UAE as location or EU would do
If I may suggest get two arubacloud 1 Euro/month
setup one as DB server and another one with remains of the stack Webserver PHP and all
This may diffuse the situation now but take time and optimize the site 10K/month is nothing.
Being is cheap is ok but don't expect everything for under 5$ a month.
They provide 5 location i suggest you either go with FR or DE
^ this. Take care you optimize your software and cache, cache, cache if that's not already done (nginx for full page caching if you can, redis (or other) to cache parts of your app).
If your budget is not high enough to host in the region, find something cheap in EU and try to make your app faster and you should be fine.
check out vultr, they have many locations, none in middle east region but you can check the latency of locations closer to you. https://www.vultr.com/faq/#downloadspeedtests
If this works for you, I can offer you the following:
1 Core @ 3.4 Ghz
768 MB RAM DDR4
100 GB HDD Raid Protected
2TB BW/m
1IPv4
$5.00/m
Hello, UAE is now available for order with fast provisioning.

We got lots of people from the middle east happy with the latency to there.
