Ask HN: Which Linode Datacenter to choose?

3 pointsdholowiski2 comments

When you sign up for Linode, you get to choose what datacenter your server is in. Can anyone share their experience with the different datacenters? Other than 'choose a datacenter close to your users' can you offer advice on choosing the best datacenter?

I'd go with the one closest to you. The datacentres are quite far apart geographically, we moved ours to the London datacentre shortly after it went online because the lag to the states while not being unusable was noticeable enough to be annoying.

Unless you have your user-base or a another web service that you use geographically located nearby, this is a non-issue.
