Feb, 2009 : MarbleHost Gives Hosting Location Choice

📅 February 23, 2009 - Handing over more control of where their websites are hosted, UK shared hosting provider MarbleHost.com (marblehost.com ) now gives clients the option of choosing among its three data center locations to host their website.

With servers based in the US, the UK, and Sweden, according to the company's announcement, MarbleHost's clients will be able to increase the speed of their websites by giving them the option to host their site closer to their end-user base, improving website load time.

Especially pertinent as a European company, by giving the option of choosing where a customer wants their site hosted, MarbleHost assures customers that their data will be hosted closer to clients, and it also gives the UK company the opportunity to grow beyond its shores, while still offering localized service.

While the location of web hosting has long been the realm of large companies that have dedicated servers, smaller-sized businesses may be realizing that the barriers of time and space are still limiting.

Also, since the largest data centers are located in the US, even European shared hosting providers may be using US servers, therefore, companies based elsewhere may be looking for assurance that their website is hosted in a nearby facility.
