knights†emplar Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi all, As the title suggests, I would like to ask for advice on what would be best server location to have players based in west-coast (California/San Diego) and Europe (mainly UK). Potentially and looking from geographical point of view I am thinking New York / New Jersey but i hear that both Canada & Finland can offer a good solution and decent FPS for US and EU based players. Maybe you have a server in those locations that we can test ? I would be happy to hear from you. And while we are on the subject feel free to recommend a good reliable and reasonable host too, Gaming host /Dedicated (it may not be solely be for an epoch server, so will also consider a dedicated host as an option) Thanking you in advance.

Gr8 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 If you want a server in NY, go for NFOservers or get a UK server at OVH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namindu Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 www.Regencyhost.com. Get a dedicated or a VDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFOservers is way over priced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knights†emplar Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 ye that is where the server is but the ping would depend on where you pinging from, I somehow doubt it will be 40 ping from California or Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfer Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I work in the ISP World and bellow is about right. PIng between UK and California is normally between 140-180... NY is about 80-100 from UK.. EU you probbably add between 10-50ms depending on the location from the UK.. This is all best scenario. IF someone is behind a slow ass xDLS connection all bets are off :-) This is a good insight of how the world is link together that will help you chose your best location. http://maps.level3.com/default/#.VRWoavmsV8E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knights†emplar Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I decided to try out Verhosting, 24 hrs later nothing , no server set up no access nothing, and the worst thing is they don't reply when you ask what's going on. they were very responsive until I paid , last email from them 12 hrs ago said it was bank holiday and the funds I paid have not cleared, even though I paid via pay pal and my login with them shows its paid instantly!

Panduhh Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Someone earlier has already trashed NFOservers.com but we have been using their Chicago datacenter for nearly 3 years now to host Battlefield servers. Enough EU folks found it playable to build up a population to justify adding in servers in Frankfurt (Germany). We've only been running Epoch (in Chicago) since January this year but we do have Australians, South Americans and Europeans all playing with acceptable performance. Server FPS matters a lot more than ping times to the player experience. We chose NFOServers' Chicago datacenter because it actually has better transcontinental performance than East Coast based datacenters and, being near the center of North America, it has a more even latency to both coasts than if we had picked one coast over the other. As for pricing, you get what you pay for. We pay the NFO premium because we like our servers to work. They are very proactive in blocking various hacking attempts like DDoSing and work quickly to resolve any issues we have that we can't take of ourselves.

Fog Horn Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 We use Vert Hosting , very good customer service ( if you remember their office is in New Zealand ) the Epoch server is located in Beauharnois, Quebec , Canada . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whocaresabout Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hello, you want a good compromise in latency for US-Eastcoast as same as EU players? --> Then maybe go for a dedicated server hosted in ICELAND?
