I know I know moving hosts is a gigantic source of gray hair for me, but the logic behind my deciding to is essentially explained by this:

So what it means is, if someone within the country wants to access my sites, it wont have to go through the Pacific Ocean, and the 18 or so odd nodes that it passes through.
Instead, we pass through a mere 7 hops, and at the moment I took this it took longest at the part where it just entered the network. At just 25ms, a pittance compared to the 400+ ms it deals with now.
So in other words again, granted everything else (like the server) is in order, visitors should now experience what the Americans (in the US) experience as a matter of daily life.

Yesss.
Ok, we’ll go through setup and testing for half a month then we’ll see what happens. Let’s all cross fingers now.
Oh and btw, as per the logic of improving domestic access, obviously all the exchange.ph sites are targetted toward a local audience, and the ff. pie chart will show what we already know:
An 80.2% readership in the Philippines compared to the rest of the world.
* sorry for the laughable attempt to hide the IPs. Not official yet, so I’ll wait til it is.
