Reply To: Best dedicated server locations for optimal Asia-Pacific performance?

[Teremel]

The challenge I keep encountering is balancing cost and performance. On one hand, local servers might seem like the obvious choice for minimizing latency, but when you factor in the cost and the fact that some European data centers offer excellent routing to Asia, it becomes less clear. Plus, hardware specs can vary widely, so sometimes a more robust server slightly farther away outperforms a closer, less powerful option. Have you noticed any specific network features that make a big difference?
