Cómo elegir el país de tu hosting

Porque ofrecemos hosting en 18 países, ahora nos preguntan a menudo:

¿Qué país debo elegir para mi hosting??…

Si bien no podemos responderlo por su caso, Podemos brindarle el marco para que usted mismo encuentre una respuesta..

Hay tres factores importantes que debemos entender hoy.:

• everything is about speed ;
• leyes de privacidad ;
• a country is associated with risks.

In general, our best answer is simply:

you have to pick the location which is the closest to your clientes

It gets tricky for some people because their business is global. In this case your customers are everywhere in the world. In any case: a majority of your customers should come from one country in particular, and it is this country (or the closest location to that country) that you need to pick. Sin embargo: since your customers are global, you need to alter your website and serve your static scripts using CDN («Content Delivery Network»). This can only be done once by modifying some code (and it something we would do).

In terms of risks: Japan has obviously natural catastrophe risks (tsunamis, earthquakes, power outage, etc). Brazil on the other hand might have political risks. In our view the safest location in terms of risk is:

Ireland

And the most risky location is:

Japón

Regarding leyes de privacidad: some countries do not allow data to be exported out of their jurisdiction. Por ejemplo: for business in the EU it is required to be hosted in the EU (and that include backups).
