Where your server is located?
 
Where does your server is located on the globe?


I'm with Cordhosting, I was at first with UltimeWeb located in Montréal, but they transfered their rights to Cordhosting who is in California.

My server is co-located with www.colostore.com. They are located in South Bend, Indiana. I used them in the past for over 6 months and never had a problem. I took my old server down because it kept restarting on its own. Turned out to be a loose connection on the motherboard. But I wanted a new server anyway, so I built the server I have now. My new server has been co-located at the Colostore for about 1 week now.

I also colocate with ColoStore.com, they have been great so far. No real complaints from me at all, I've been with them for quite a few months.

Mine I am not sure since I am with a host and don't run a true server. I had one host in Australia but that was really slow since I am in the US. it is where ever in godaddy's network.

If your going to rent a dedicated server its a good idea that you buy one from the graphical region that your clients are in. If most of your clients/viewers are from the USA. Then you would want to get a server from the USA.

I wouldn't say that. I don't know how much your paying for your VPS. But you could build a server for well under $300. And Co-locate it at www.colostore.com for $49.95 per month. And then you would have the whole server. If your already managing a VPS, then your not going to have any problems managing a dedicated server.

As far as I know mine is in Texas.. they dont tell us exactly where though!
Of course you cant really expect to know all the time if you are going through a big server company.. they have to keep some level of security.

Doing a little investigative work, you can figure out where your server is located and who owns the network it is running on. Just doing a trace route to your server you can find some useful information such as IP addresses and host names of the routers your traffic is going through to get to your server. Using this information WHOIS information can be pulled for both IP addresses and the domain within the hostname.
