I found the location by using a Geo IP lookup. It could therefore be inaccurate.

It is inaccurate. The servers are located at the svtix data center [1] in San Jose, CA [2]. That seems like a perfectly sensible place to operate a business to me.

this is correct for all new customers. I have a really old location at herculies data in sacramento, and another old location at he.net in Fremont.

Just out of curiosity: are you planning to centralize your operation?

I am planning on spreading even more. I'd like a rack in the UK or eastern europe. I do plan on getting rid of some of my current locations once I move the customers, though. but it would be nice to offer some low-latency options to our friends on the other side of the globe.

My next rack will probably be around here, though. Some place that I can get a cheap dark-fiber connection to from svtix, or maybe even within svtix, but I'd like to offer my customers the option of buying VPSs in different locations.

And they will be welcome!

You should mention that in the article, then.
