From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Reinier Battenberg Sent: Tuesday, 26 February 2013 14:18 To: Uganda Linux User Group Subject: Re: [LUG] VPS and Shell accounts I work on a local prompt 10% of my day every day, across ISPs, and it works, once its setup correctly. I think there is a current wave of more local services going on, which is great. MTN is offering datacenter services, Datanet launched theirs, OneSolutions is betting heavily on local VPS services. And for a lot of online services, especially content heavy ones, that makes total sense. Why host something like http://www.mafutago.com/ which has a 100% target audience in Uganda, anywhere else? Why would Ugandan websites host in the US, while US companies have a cache inside Uganda for their content? rgds, reinier On Tuesday 26 February 2013 11:44:54 Benjamin Tayehanpour wrote: I agree, although using mosh over SSH somewhat mitigates that. The problem is that, in my experience with Koen and his hired domestic VPS, the lag is almost unbearable compared to communicating with a server abroad. It might just be that that particular company is shite at what they do, but it seems that with Ugandan VPSes, there are two potential bottlenecks instead of just one as it should be.

While datanet is peering with the UIXP, no other members at the UIXP are peering with datanet. You'll get your keystrokes on MTN going via london into your VPS. Rather take another option, while you can. rgds. reinier On Tuesday 26 February 2013 13:11:53 Simon Vass wrote: As do Datanet, but you might have a hard time getting to them over the IX ;-) On 26/02/13 13:07, Reinier Battenberg wrote: Hi, You can try Roke Telkom, they lease out VPS's.
