Which datacenter location should I choose?

In most cases, you should choose the datacenter location that is closest to your visitors. For mixed traffic (visitors from around the globe) and especially standard websites, then any of our locations should be perfect even if all of your visitors are on the other side of the world.

For example, if most of your visitors are in California then our Los Angeles location would probably be the best choice. Additionally, our New York datacenter offers some of the best connectivity in the US to Europe making it a good choice for traffic from the European region. The same goes for our Los Angeles datacenter but instead for traffic from the Asia-Pacific region.
