Hi all.
Just wanna share my experience so far. I have just came onto the world of internet and registered my sites in 2 different servers. I have 4 sites by the way. one is in mogutou, the other 3 is in giz technology.
Here are 2 screenshots of the time taken to connect by ftp to the respective servers from the initial "connecting to.. " until "directory listing successful".
famouschris.com is hosted in mogutou, losu.org is hosted in giz.
Here's the difference.
19 seconds - famouschris
1 second - losuOf course I can still upload and download and navigate through the directories in famouschris, but it will take more time. I was hoping the slowness is a fixable problem so that i may increase productivity.
I would seriously recommend
Giz Tech. The website might look a bit funny but my experience with Giz has been spectacular. Customer support is just great.
For your information, the reason why there is a major difference in the connecting speed is because famouschris.com is on a US server:

It is best for you to inform the hosting provider upon signing up about your web site's targetted audience. If you are expecting lots of international visitors, a US server is the best. Else, go for regional servers like SG or MY servers.
Thus, you can't really compare Mogo & Giz by the speed test, as you're comparing apples to oranges now.
Thanks.
