I wonder if HN is hosted in China at all.
Edit: To clarify, I doubt any of it is. Still, having seen some seemingly unlikely events coming to pass over the past few years, it's natural to be curious and think through the scenario.
- tasuki 7y agoI don't think HN is hosted in China. Why should it be?
- komali2 7y agoLike, random AWS server or something?
- hn_throwaway_99 7y agoHN isn't hosted on AWS, and AWS doesn't have any data centers in China.
- deadbunny 7y agoThey do, they are just run as (what I assume is) a separate company entirely. https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/ https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/
- AlchemistCamp 7y agoA common reason to host on both sides of the GFW is latency.
- tutux84 7y agoI was in mainland China (Shanghai and surroundings) in september for two weeks and HN was not accessible, probably because of the Great FW. So I doubt any HN instance is hosted there.
