A simple question this time: I'd like to move my hosting because my provider is not very responsive and the connections are quite slow. I am in Italy, do you think I should choice an italian hosting or can I look for a provider mentioned on drupal's forum like ANhosting or ohter? In a few words, if I choose an american Hosting, will the speed be slow for my users or these problems don't exist? thanks.
My 2c from Greece. I used to have similar thoughts but I have found that the increased ping time of a US-based server should be the least of my worries. I have tried a few local and UK-based companies, they usually offer less for a much higher price and they have been very unwilling to upgrade their PHP and MySQL version or to offer ssh access.
