Netherlands best bet. no DMCA law. or crap like that
Europe - Frankfurt. We need more German hosts, there are 1000 hosts in Amsterdam already.
Frankfurt is super costly and not really viable for an let host hence i wanted to check what your thoughts for the above are however, i was looking for a good German dedicated server provider with reasonable prices but didn't really find any.
However if i find a good dedicated server provider / a good Colocation price i'll surely get that location up and running
What DCs?
Serverius , Dronten [NL]
Only reason i'd not want to expand into the chicago location was because of ChicagoVPS
Chicago is a big market, plenty of room for new entrants.
Will take that into consideration @jbiloh thanks
One market that I think is under served is Dallas personally.
I don't get that. Are the IP prices the same or not?
Serverius is going more and more to be crap, you'd better go with i3d/SmartDC
Catalysthost, wable, fliphost, and a bunch of others.
I suggest you create a non-cc Chicago location if you go to chicago, you might get a chunk of customers just on the fact of Email servers.
@rajprakash sorry for not being clear but what i mean the prices will not be hugely different since extra ip's in eu locations cost a bomb like 2-3$ / month
Go with chicago but make sure you can do ipv6. Every provider I've tried in Chicago (with the exception of drServer) had not had ipv6, and I've had quite a few...
You can find something decent like Daringhost in Chicago (steadfast DC) with IPv6 too.
In the EU we have already enought hosts at NL,FR , when you go to EU then something special as he said Germany or for example Swiss
I agree that NL is already having enough hosts, however almost the majority of them are providing expensive services in comparison with services in US, or UK. I would say if you could provide reliable services plus securing some affordable plans will help.
Thanks Spirit!
Yes, we offer native IPv6 inside of the Steadfast DC in Chicago.
Agree that NL has lots of hosts, but I voted for that purely on the basis that more LE* hosts in Europe the better
i'd like to see more exotic locations, the rare ones. they would make great vpns. what about africa, hawaii, aruba, iceland, etc?
@Mark_R how about Moldova / Czech Republic ?
You'll be DDoS'd for competing against sz1hosting.
Website seems dodgy http://www.sz1hosting.com/
Yikes, agreed.
He turned it back on?
I'm not sure @wych i guess so.
