Why does the hosting have to be chinese? The advantage of internet based startups is that everything is global. I'm sure there are great hostings in South Korea, for instance.
- mkuhn 16y agoDo you know about a good Host in the region then. There are quite a few reasons why hosting in Chine would make sense, the number one being latency.
- byoung2 16y agoYou can host on Amazon EC2, selecting the Asia Pacific (Singapore) region (the same goes for S3, SimpleDB, etc). I'm not sure if the plan is to go global, but if you do, you can easily expand into US (East and West) as well as EU (Ireland).
- mkuhn 16y agoThe plan is to stay local as the service is tailored to the Chinese market. I've been thinking of Amazon in Singapore as well, especially in combination with Scalr which would allow for a certain degree of automatic scaling.
