A new data center option for your sites. Choose your sites to be hosted in Australia!
Hot good news to our web hosting customers from Australia, News Zealand and the region of Oceania. Now you can have your sites closer to your place than never before! The new data center that NTC Hosting sealed a deal with is located in Sydney and is one of the biggest facilities in the Southern part of the world.
Global Switch, the name of the data center, is part of a global data center network, comprising facilities from all over the world. It offers a perfectly conditioned and well protected environment for your sites. Here is an example in support of our words – the facility houses a few of the servers of the Australian Department of Defense!
Hosting your sites closer to your location has a few key advantages over a traditional USA or UK hosting situation. It offers faster server responses to browsing requests by your local visitors and hence quicker page loadings and faster download speeds for your multi-media content (images, videos) and applications. Also, having your online business hosted locally is a great trust-image credit in the eyes of your local customers.
Presently, the Australian facility is available as a data center option on the order form with any of the shared web hosting packages on our site. Using this exclusive option will have no effect on the original service pricing.
To select the option, simply go to the hosting signup page and, after selecting your package, choose Global Switch from the ‘Choose a Data Center Location’ drop-down. This selection will automatically create an account of yours in the Australian data center. Enjoy 🙂
