Mike I used to use http://www.localweb.com/ - didn't notice any slowness -
but did have a problem if I wanted to actually talk to someone there (cost
of phonecall)
I now use http://www.webone.com.au/ who are just as cheap as localweb was
and give very good service
(I'm in Canberra)

<br>
But as anyone in Australia can tell you, Australian-based CF
hosters<br>
aren't low-budget business, while my clients are.<br>
<br>
I have to either get them to pay a lot more, or host them overseas -
no<br>
doubt a US based hoster.<br>
<br>
Has anyone in Australia/NZ hosted sites on US CF servers? What
I'm<br>
interested in is whether the horror tales of very slow download speeds
etc<br>
are for real or just Aussie salesman's talk. I can see that from a
sheer<br>
money point of view, there are a zillion better options than the 4 or
5<br>
main CF hosts here in Australia. But if it results in clients
saying they<br>
are moving because their site pisses off too many of their
customers<br>
because it's too slow, it's not much of a bargain.<br>
<br>
For those who don't fully appreciate the issue, it's all well and
good<br>
for a hosting company to say they have multiple T3s and load balancing
and<br>
fast servers etc, but if the site is held in a bottleneck getting
across<br>
the Pacific Ocean, the site's still slow. What I'm not sure about
is<br>
whether this is just talk or it's a real problem for US Hosted
.com.au<br>
sites.<br>
