hi… this link does not work anymore ,
You can vote for this on our suggestions board: Datacenter in South Africa.
mmmm … would be great if they can open in DC here in South Africa…
Ran the tests and it seems like London is the best.
Created a droplet in each area pinged then all from Gauteng In South Africa
The droplets were destroyed after the test, so pinging then now probably will not work
The results are below
Hope this helps somebody
ping 46.101.10.5
ping 178.62.249.20
ping 46.101.177.137
ping 162.243.79.63
ping 104.236.165.114
ping 128.199.98.152
Hi Kamal,
Not to hijack the thread, but are there any future plans for opening a DO data center in South Africa?
I know there will be huge support for DO services in SA. I personally prefer using DO over the local Cloud solutions but they still rule the roost with low latency.
Thanks,
Michael
@rahul.bansal It’s loading fine for me, what do you mean by ‘not working’?
AMS - 198.211.119.108 is not working
You can ping the following IPs and measure the latency, as raiyu said, the lowest latency is where you will have the best connectivity. <br> <br>NY - 198.211.116.146 <br>AMS - 198.211.119.108 <br>SF - 198.199.97.209
Easiest thing to do is sign up and spin up a server in each of the locations we offer and do a simple ping test against the IPs. <br> <br>Where you have the lowest latency is where you will have the best connectivity. <br> <br>I’d guess that may be Amsterdam but I could be wrong.
