[thelist] Re: dedicated server in the us

[Michael Galvin]

Um, this is not an answer to your question, but your post reminded me of
something I wanted to ask theList for a while.  Apart from time differences*
and tech support availability, is there any reason why a US company couldn't
be hosted on a UK server (for example).

Wouldn't it be easier for you if there are problems with the site to have a
local ISP that will be open during your working hours, not your client's?

*I bring up time differences because of an issue I had with an ASP script
which was supposedly being hosted locally, but was actually based in the
States, causing a 5 hour 'time loss'.

[thelist] dedicated server in the us


hi all,

this question has probably been asked about a zillion times already on
thelist, but i have searched the archives and can't find anything recent
that helps me.

basically, we are a uk company and have so far hosted all our clients
with uk partners on uk based servers. however, we now have a big us
client, and need a dedicated server in the us.
