I wouldn't want offshore, because its so far, especially for image hosting, it would be horrible to have a server across the world, when it mainly targets US recipients.

Actually, if you are talking about a dedicated or VPS, it would make little diffrerence to image hosting users. It is how crowded or overloaded the server is that slows it down. ImageShack, for example, overcrowds their servers, so sometimes it takes ages to load something. I wonder how their users tolerate that...

But wouldn't you think that an offshore place is on an internet connection half way around the country? Thats like with gaming dedicated servers, if your in the United States, and you are playing in a server that is located in the United Kingdom, you will ping worse than if the server was in central Texas..

But then we are talking about image hosting, not gaming servers... Also, I know a few Russian websites that load faster than CBC News site.

So I think it is the settings, the providers and how well the servers are managed (overcrowded or not) is what matters.

Best,

I have to agree with you on the fact that it depends on how well the servers are managed, settings, and the providers. That is most definitely the most important thing that affects servers or any type of hosting for that matter, this will always remain true.
