Web hosting services with servers in Israel or well-connected to IIX?
A client of mine is building a Web site for serving the Israeli market. He is looking for a Web hosting service, which has servers located in Israel and/or have low-latency links to all major Israeli ISPs. Any idea which Web hosting companies meeting the above requirement exist, any recommendations, and where can I find a list of all such companies?

I thought all the Israeli ISPs provide web hosting services. Bezeqnet, Netvisiom, Barak etc. On 9/11/07, Omer Zak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A client of mine is building a Web site for serving the Israeli market.

E.g. I think Ira still runs scso.com(?) On 9/11/07, Omer Zak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A client of mine is building a Web site for serving the Israeli market.

How about going to d.co.il and looking for web hosting (Eruach Atarim (no Hebrew setup on this machine))? --Amos

Yes, all ISPs in Israel provide Web hosting services - but at higher cost than companies which specialize in Web hosting. My client is looking for companies, which specialize in Web hosting, and whose servers have good connections to Israeli ISPs. Another question. How big is the difference in latency and throughput experienced by Israelis surfing to Web sites hosted in USA, by a low-cost Web hosting service vs. Web hosting service, which hosts sites in Israel? In other words, is the price difference justified by quality of service? P.S.: for those who are looking for the offtopic warning, this is on-topic because the Web site to be deployed by my client is based upon the LAMP stack, and we are not looking for Web hosting services, which host only on MS-Windows based servers. --- Omer On Tue, 2007-09-11 at 10:17 +0300, Dan Bar Dov wrote: I thought all the Israeli ISPs provide web hosting services.

My client is looking for companies, which specialize in Web hosting, and whose servers have good connections to Israeli ISPs. Well, there are only 3 that I know of. NetVision (incorporating 013/Barak), BEZEQ BENLEUMI, 012/Internet Zahav. If Bynet offers hosting, they will be more expensive, but far more professional. Another question. How big is the difference in latency and throughput experienced by Israelis surfing to Web sites hosted in USA, by a low-cost Web hosting service vs. Web hosting service, which hosts sites in Israel? Enourmous. My average ping times to servers on the Netvision (my ISP) local LAN is around 12ms. Ping times to the U.S. range from around 225 to 1200 ms depending upon the time of day, the day of the week and how well they are connected to Netvision's ISP. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

If your application is testing ping response then even minor differences are significant enough to justify the greater cost. If you are developing an ecommerce site having a page load a second slower is less critical. If you are developing a site that will require large amounts of storage space then the price difference goes up astronomically. As a general rule, for most web applications I have come across the cost difference is not justified. -- David Suna [EMAIL PROTECTED] = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I use them for shared hosting, but they also offer dedicated and VPS. If I recall correctly, they are a bit pricier than some of the ISPs. Anyhoo, dedicated hosting prices in israel are crap. If you bring your own server it will cost you more than a rented server with roughly the same specs abroad. Another question. How big is the difference in latency and throughput experienced by Israelis surfing to Web sites hosted in USA, by a low-cost Web hosting service vs. Web hosting service, which hosts sites in Israel? You can expect ~200ms latency from teh US, that is noticeable. You can host in europe if you want a bit better latency but without the ripoff prices in Israel. I did a project a couple of years where the main website was hosted in the US, and was meant for US and Israeli users alike. What we did eventually was put an image server in Israel, sync it with the images on the main server constantly, etc. It did get us a lot of speed gain since this app has a lot of images on it. In other words, is the price difference justified by quality of service? If your audience is Israeli, yes. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

013 Barak are probably the best and easiest to work with even after the merge with netivision. I have a number of servers hosted there including a system we implement for a SaaS customer that has been running stably for several years.
