Ping on my ex-4 is 200ms from California. My OVH box in Canada is 80ms by comparison. Latency is an issue.

    California <-> Germany : 200ms
    California <-> Canada  : 80ms
What's the problem?

If you need decent response-time everywhere in the world, you go and buy Co-Location. http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produktmatrix/racks

No, the problem is I don't need decent response-time everywhere in the world. I need decent response time in California. That's where the majority of my visitors are from. Latency is the tradeoff you make when you buy overseas servers to save money.

Just fyi. OVH AND Hetzner both got hacked multiple times. If you're an old OVH Customer, you probably know it.
