Hi, I am planning to build a website, my audiences are only based in Malaysia.
Should I use local hosting or global hosting?
Which would you recommend?
I want the fastest load speed and the lowest latency.
Fast speed and low latency... go for Tier 2 or Tier 1 datacentre. Like AIMS & Strateq.
On another hand, VPS may be good too if you want total control or a dedicated server may seems good.
But if the hosting was only a static website then any hosting provider will do, the only thing that needs such speed & latency is only when you are running an e-commerce website where the transactions is high (like Lazada, Shopify etc.)
Else it makes no sense to invest in such high capacity hosting servers. And if you really need so, then go for either Dedicated Server or VPS hosting.
