Choosing the Right Location

By Target Audience

Target Audience	Recommended Locations	Why
US East Coast Users	New York, Toronto	Lowest latency (2-20ms), close proximity
US West Coast Users	San Francisco	Lowest latency (2ms), silicon valley connectivity
European Users	London, Frankfurt	GDPR compliant, low latency (3-5ms) across Europe
Asian Users	Singapore, Tokyo	Best connectivity to Asia Pacific region (5-8ms)
Australian/NZ Users	Sydney	Only Oceania location, lowest latency to Australia
Global Audience	Multiple locations with load balancing	Deploy in 2-3 regions for global coverage

By Compliance Requirements

GDPR (EU Data Protection): London, Frankfurt
US Data Residency: New York, San Francisco
Canadian Data Sovereignty: Toronto
APAC Data Residency: Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney

Network Performance

Lowest Latency to Major Markets

North America: New York (2ms to US East), San Francisco (2ms to US West)
Europe: Frankfurt (3ms), London (5ms)
Asia: Singapore (5ms), Tokyo (8ms)
Oceania: Sydney (only option)

Best for Global Distribution

Primary: New York or San Francisco (largest user base)
Secondary: London or Frankfurt (Europe coverage)
Tertiary: Singapore or Tokyo (Asia coverage)

Pro Tip: For mission-critical applications, deploy to multiple locations with automatic failover for maximum uptime and geographic redundancy.

Location Migration & Multi-Region Deployment

Moving Between Locations

You can migrate your VPS to a different location using snapshots:

Create a snapshot of your existing VPS
Create a new VPS in the target location
Restore the snapshot to the new VPS
Update DNS records to point to new IP
Delete old VPS once migration is verified

Cherechedza: Migrating to a new location will result in a new IP address. Plan for DNS propagation time (typically 24-48 hours for full global propagation).

Multi-Location Deployment

For high availability and global reach, consider deploying in multiple locations:

Use Cases

Global content delivery
Geographic load balancing
Disaster recovery
Compliance with data residency laws
Reduced latency for international users

Implementation

DNS-based load balancing (GeoDNS)
CDN integration (Cloudflare, etc.)
Database replication across regions
Shared storage solutions
Application-level failover
