Dear Penguins,
I live in Germany and I want to run a quite big php/mysql web-community here. In order to save money I thought it'd be clever idea to rent a VServer(LAMP) in the US instead of a dedicated one over here.
Reasons: Euro/Dollar exchange & user peaks in the evening hours would be in the US' afternoon hours - this way I get more CPU power from a VServer than if I would share a server with others over here, right?
? Can you name me a few good addresses in the US where I can rent vservers? (I'm looking for rather big, relyable companies.)
? Is it right, that the bigger PING time to the us doesnt really matter for a regulat web-application like this? (no gaming)
