Here at DowntownHost, we’re always thinking of ways to improve your hosting experience. To that end, we’re excited to announce that, in response to customer demand, we now offer Europe-based hosting. What this means for you is high-quality bandwidth, and reliable hosting from our datacenter partner in Amsterdam.
Now, your options extend beyond our facilities in Denver. By having the option of hosting in The Netherlands, our European customers will have access to faster bandwidth, because there will be less “hops” from your access point to the server.
Don’t misunderstand; our U.S. facility is also of high quality, but it’s intelligent to choose a datacenter that is closest to your geographic location, and that of most of your website’s visitors. Our U.S. customers may want to choose our U.S. facility, while our European and Asian customers may wish to select the Amsterdam facility.
By choosing a site that is close to you (and most of your visitors) geographically, you will enjoy higher ping times, among other things. One important factor that should be involved in your decision is who the majority of your visitors will be. If, for example, you live in Germany, but you expect that the majority of your visitors will be from America, you may wish to go with our U.S. facility.
Though you may notice slightly slower bandwidth (and the difference isn’t noticeable unless you run a gaming server), your customers will receive the best connection possible. Along the same lines, if you live in the United States, but expect the majority of your visitors to be European, then you’d likely want to choose the Amsterdam datacenter.
Whichever datacenter you wind up choosing, know that you will have quality bandwidth and reliable uptime. You will also have our friendly customer support at your fingertips, so that if there’s ever a problem with your service, you will be able to get a quick resolution to your problem. That won’t change, regardless of which datacenter you decide to host your site in.
We are constantly making changes to help improve our customers’ experience, and this is just one example of how dedicated DowntownHost is to your satisfaction, and to ensuring that you receive the best hosting experience possible. We also welcome suggestions, so if you have an idea that you think would help improve DowntownHost, please contact us, because we’d love to hear from you!
If you’d like to choose the Amsterdam datacenter, please contact us, and we’ll guide you through the process, and as always, thank you for choosing DowntownHost. If you’re not yet a customer, why not become one today? We’re growing by leaps and bounds, so come to a host that not only cares about its customers, but also cares about making things even better!
