Why colocate in Los Angeles

Distance is latency. Put the hardware near the people and networks it serves.

Closer to West Coast users

Users in LA, San Diego, the Bay Area, Phoenix and Las Vegas get a shorter path to downtown LA than to Chicago or Virginia. For chatty APIs and game servers, that shows.

The Pacific side of your network

Serving Tokyo, Sydney or Singapore from the US? An LA site takes the cross-country leg out of the trip. It won't shrink the ocean, but it removes the part you can control.

A second region for failover

A replica in the same metro as your primary shares its storms and fiber cuts. LA is far from our Chicago and Ashburn sites, which is the point.

One server or a few units

You don't need a rack. We take a single 1U server, or several rack units if you're moving a small cluster.

Power and hands on the quote

Tell us your servers' draw under load and what remote-hands help you expect. Both are written into the quote, so there's no surprise on the first bill.

Test the network first

Run ping, traceroute or MTR against our LA location from the looking glass before you ship anything.

LA or Chicago

LA or Chicago colocation?

Here’s our honest take. If your users are on the West Coast or across the Pacific, pay for LA. If they’re spread across the US and price matters most, Chicago gives you more for the money, and it’s the only site with flat published packages.
