Proposed server purchase for GitLab.com
Are you sure about the location? I would go with Frankfurt, Germany. Biggest IX in the world and if you want a "low-latency" solution for all users this is basically the middle of everything. NYC will have a worse connection to Asia and I don't want to begin with India or something. While Frankfurt is basically only 70ms away from NY and around 120ms to the west coast, while even south america should be < 200ms. Russia is 40-50ms and Asia should be between 100ms and 200ms. Australia will probably have the worst ping with around 200-300ms.<p>Just as a suggestion since you seem to be so certain about the location. I basically know every DC in Frankfurt, so if you need any help or info in that regard feel free to contact me :-)
