Way back in the beginning, the Synthesis team strategically chose this location and the providers associated with it because it is the most central single location for delivering reliable, rapid response times to clients in the U.S. and across the globe But because Synthesis has grown to have a truly global Phone Number List customer base, our plans have always included data center expansion into markets that are closer to our customers. So while Virginia-based servers may deliver great response times to Eastern Europe, Africa, and even to the Middle East and beyond, data centers in Amsterdam can bring it even faster. This is why the Synthesis stack was designed (from the beginning) to be provider-agnostic. We are not beholden to any single technology provider, so we can make decisions based solely on bringing you the best service possible. It was a no brainer to provide this additional data center option.
We just needed to find the partner. Who did we choose? After a careful selection process, we decided to launch our European offering on Digital Ocean’s infrastructure. Our process for selecting locations and data center partners is methodical. We reveal some of our thinking here, in our whitepaper entitled “The Truth About WordPress Performance: Why You May Not Need What You’re Being Sold”, where we highlight the importance of core optimization … which is exactly the point of launching this additional data center option. You will see more expansion announcements soon as we solidify solutions for Southeast Asia and Latin America.
