UK to US Latency - 7/20/2006 11:31:04   
Does anyone who's hosting uk sites on servers in the US notice any latency or problems? Or have good things to say? I'm looking for new hosts and wondering about using a US supplier.

In this instance I'm looking at windows stuff.

No probs from a Unix POV.

As I undertand it, you're better off from an SE angle hosting US domains on US servers and UK domains on UK.

All my domains are on Unix servers, but I have noticed a difference in some of my sites. All are with UK hosts, but of the two hosts I'm using at the moment, the ones with the host whose servers are in the US do seem slower to load than my others that are with a UK host with UK servers, particularly where loading graphics is concerned. Not sure if it's the server locations though or just different server specs.
