Location matters
Why the data center location makes a difference
Every request to your website travels from the visitor's device to the server and back again. The shorter that distance, the lower the latency – the small delay before the first data arrives. For websites with a regional audience, a server in the same part of the world noticeably improves loading times, especially for dynamic pages such as online shops or member areas.
That is why you choose the data center location yourself with CheapTopHost. If most of your visitors are in Europe, our UK data center is the natural choice. If your audience is mainly in North America, select our US data center. You decide separately for each hosting package, so different projects can run in different locations.
- Lower latency for your main audience
- Faster loading for dynamic content
- Location chosen per hosting package
Two strong options
United Kingdom or United States?
United Kingdom (Europe)
Ideal for customers and visitors in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the rest of Europe. Short distances to the major European internet hubs mean fast response times across the continent.
United States
The right choice if your audience is mainly in North America. Your website is delivered from a modern facility close to your visitors there.
Data protection
GDPR advantage: hosting in the United Kingdom
For businesses in the European Union, data protection is a key consideration when choosing a host. The European Commission has recognised the United Kingdom as a country with an adequate level of data protection by means of an adequacy decision. Personal data can therefore be transferred from the EU to the UK without additional safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
If you run a website for European customers, our UK data center combines short distances with a sound legal basis for data protection. We also provide a data processing agreement for our customers. Please note that this information is general and does not replace legal advice for your individual situation.
Data processing agreementSecurity and reliability
Professionally run data centers
Your websites run in professionally operated facilities designed to keep hardware and data safe.
Physical security
Access to the facilities is restricted and monitored, so only authorised staff can reach the server rooms.
Redundant infrastructure
Power supply, cooling and network connections are designed with redundancy to keep services running if a component fails.
Protection on every level
Advanced DDoS protection, anti-bot protection and automatic malware scans add security on the network and application level.
Global reach
Our CDN delivers your website worldwide
Your data center location determines where your website is processed and stored. Our free CDN with edge caching makes sure it still loads quickly for visitors far away. Static content such as images, stylesheets and scripts is cached on servers around the world and delivered from the location closest to each visitor.
This means you get the best of both worlds: a data center location that suits your main audience and data protection needs, plus fast delivery to everyone else. The CDN is part of our Web Acceleration Suite and is included in every hosting plan.
