The big question is hat is their connection to the Internet more than where
they are physically located. You need to find out who is their upstream
provider, what sort of connection do they have. Is it shared, and then you
need to test it.
If you don't have time for that, then find the cheapest guy with the best
support and hope for the best <g>

Subject: Hosting lag time
This probably is too basic a question to be asking such a high powered
group, but here it goes anyway.
I am going to be moving a few web sites from a hosting company that is in
close proximity to my location and the location of the businesses that have
the web sites.
In my search for a new host (which will provide ColdFusion, naturally), how
significant is the factor of where the servers are physically located? The
businesses are all locally oriented and most of the site traffic is created
by clients in the local area (east coast in this example). Is there any
advantage to having the hosting company close by or could a company on the
west coast provide service with little evidence of additional load time for
the sites?
In advance, thanks for your thoughts!
