Why is KWWH hosted in Netherlands ?

[Myth?]

Hosting in Netherland is just a good place. I find that it is much faster and the price is not too bad. Depends on what your getting.

The downsides of hosting in the netherlands is the language barrier. I'd consider UK hosting personally, because it's my own currency and it's super cheap imo.

Every hosting company (Ecatel, Leaseweb, Worldstream etc.) knows the english language.. And NL is cheaper than UK for bandwidth.

NetherLands have hosted many Big Sites and the Hosting is also very Cheap here and here the Hosting Speed are faster compared to other countries USA, UK etc.

It is known that The Netherlands has great connectivity througout the world with a great backbone of bandwidth providers.
I have to agree & disagree with Elights statement on it being cheaper compared to USA - because you can get a stable network & servers in USA.
But in Netherlands you will find the bandwidth prices are of a much higher cost, more than likely know due to the blend of providers and the sheer quality off the bandwidth you are recieving.

Let's recode a lot of the css to use sprites and CSS gradients. It makes a massive difference and KWWH has being laggy lately. It's not that hard to do and would only take like an hour. I'm sure you've seen the benefits of it working on Katz.

The lag though has been us basically hitting a brick wall in terms of CPU and HDD. That, along with a constant bombardment of DDoS attacks doesn't do much for our load times.

Whoever it is DDoS'ing, just get a life

NL has cheap bandwidth and a good infrastructure and now that they have this big responsibility(they host a lot of big sites like wikipedia) they need to keep on upgrading so it will only get faster and faster.
And it's fast for us europeans,that's another advantage imo

[KWWHmember]

everybody is speacking of advantages of NL comparing its prices for hosting and bandtwith with other countries...
but as for me NL is still bulletproof regardinig DMCA complaints...
and this is the policy of the whole country...

and if the situation change - what country will replace it?... (if I could explain my question correctly)

[l0calh0st]

Because the Netherlands has the best network and infrastructure. Plus it's cheap.

Also there is nothing illegal on KWWHunction I think. Don't worry for complains.
