Hi,
I have an interesting solution for anyone looking to get their sites out of the US. I have a friend I’ve known for over 10 years who is doing hosting in Russia. He’s an old programmer friend who is very trustworthy. I have been trying out a site for a month now and the speed has been consistent with anything I’ve hosted in the states. It hasn’t been down yet either.
If anyone is interested in this, let me know. The prices should be compatible with the US, although it’s been a while since I shopped around.
