Re: Web Hosting Recommendations

Hi Mhac,

Depends where overseas is. If you've got primarily US-based customers,
go with US hosting, of course. If you've got primarily EU-based
customers, go with EU hosting. If you're talking ASEAN, BizHost isn't
bad but you may want to consider hosting elsewhere in the region instead
(maybe MY, SG, HK, TW?).

Cheers!
