Next RamNode Location?

Nick_ANick_A Member, Top Host, Host Rep

We ran an informal poll for our social media followers, but we would like to pose the same question to LET: Where would you like to see RamNode expand to next?

Note: We are not considering locations outside of the US at this time.

    I think NY will be the winner...

  • I believe the west coast would be more popular due to the large population in Asia and the underserved market there. People from Asia just go for west coast USA.

    Why US? go EU or outside and put a second Location up.

    I can't edit the post, but we already have the following locations:

    Atlanta

    Seattle

    The Netherlands

  • @Nick_A

    Preferrably LA, because i can switch from my provider to you then. :O :)))

  • LeeLee Veteran

    Somewhere central.

    Thanked by 1Infinity
  • I think Dallas would be best.

    2nd choice would be NY.

  • Do somewhere slightly unusual, like Columbus, OH!

  • Denver, not a lot of vps providers are here.

  • Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico :) Will be hits number one :)

  • NekkiNekki Veteran

    NY for me if another European location is out of the question for the time being.

    Personally I'd likely be in for a 2-3 VPSs in New York if the latency/network is very good. I might give Dallas a try also if the latency is good but I don't have a strong need for Dallas myself.

    "Central" depends on how you define the edges ;)

    LA because I believe there are a ton of Asian users who seek a reliable service and LA will definitely help. I also would like LA because I'm occupied there (yes, I'm selfish :P).

  • If you guys went west coast, I would buy a service from you.

    I already have an NL OVZSSD service with you.

  • OSTKCabalOSTKCabal Member, Patron Provider

    I've voted New York.

    While Atlanta and NL are good choices, there's certainly no better "one-size-fits-all" location such as NY. The extensive connectivity and (RELATIVELY) fair pings / latency between U.S. and E.U. makes New York a good choice for many applications.

    Oregon or Dallas, if it must be US.

    Seattle is right on the west coast, albeit it's up north.

    NL as in The Netherlands?...

  • BellaBella Member

  • singapore

    +1 on this, i like ramnode very much. make it closer to Asia, or why not build one in Asia (Singapore, Japan or maybe South Korea) :)

  • vote for LA since i am living on Asia

  • Or i think San Jose would be better :D

  • Yes san jose would be much much better.. LA is OK.

    Exactly. When you are on the end of 150ms trans-pacific cable, another 35ms or so starts to get a bit too far. Like the Hillbillies, Cali-forn-i-a is the place I want to be. There is some new capacity coming online into San Diego on the APX East cable due late next year, that will be the quickest path into the US and my ISP already has purchased capacity on it.

    I get ~160ms from Sydney to my Reversehosts VPS in San Diego via SCCN, and ~210ms to GVH at Dallas. I grabbed one of your NL services for DNS & backup MX. I may go for Seattle at some stage as there is SCCN landing close by.

    I would love to see you in Australia, and ideally anywhere in Sydney but of all people on here (along with maybe @Oliver), I actually understand the costs involved in DC's and transit here in Australia. I am actually hoping that someone will start launching low-cost, flexible DC's here rather than all the high-end space that is going in here currently.
