Web Hosting Data Center Location Guide

Data Center Location Guide

An often overlooked factor when choosing a web hosting provider is data center location. Having your website hosted at a data center closer to your area can noticeably speed up your site’s loading and response times. For local businesses, where your target market is in your same general area, your customers can also enjoy better and smoother visits to your website when your data center is close by.

While content delivery networks can improve page loading times for your website’s users in other parts of the globe, it’s still advisable to try and get your site hosted at a data center location closer to you if possible. Since you’ll be spending the most time accessing both the front and back end of your website, you certainly want the fastest performance you can get.

Surprisingly, some web hosting companies prefer not to provide information about their data center locations. Others, such as GoDaddy, just say that they have data centers worldwide and that your website is assigned to a certain one. While I’m not saying that these secretive web hosts are bad or worse than the others, what I can say is that those web hosting companies that have been open about their data centers (and even allow you to select your location) seem to be some of the best ones I’ve dealt with.

Here is a list of data center locations indexed by both Location and Web Hosting Company:
