Email server options

@dave_c let’s work on this together since I already have a start on it.

Your terms are reasonable, and similar to the terms I would have

Why would the VPS be in Europe & not the US?

Curtis

@FATeknollogee cheaper

@FATeknollogee cheaper duh

It can't be that much cheaper, I don't buy that reason.

So you'll choose the higher latency VPS because it's less money but all the folks that are using it are here in the US?

Curtis

@FATeknollogee everyone is in the US? That can’t possibly be true...

I'm referring to the users from this forum.

StuartJordan

Well I'm not in the U.S lol...so not everyone...

Curtis

@FATeknollogee even so... don’t we have users from all around?

FATeknollogee

I assume'd' majority of the users are US based?

I am on full disclosure mode. If I wasn´t most non nerds would not notice. Wait, this is a nerd community: I apologize
In the end it does not matter for email delivery and the console works fast enough.
But If the project goes on and the crowd demands it I could host it elsewhere, like Chicago

Edit: Yes, the price is better is Europe. Check the prices on Hetzner as Curtis said.

Neither do I

Curtis

@FATeknollogee doesn’t matter. Response time to Germany is good, I have zero issues. Not to mention better privacy.

For example:

Server would be a VPS in Europe (for those who care) with good performance but high latency to US.

@dave_c said latency to the US would be high?

dave_c

@FATeknollogee
Well, there is a difference between 10-40 ms and 90 ms
The Atlantic ocean is somewhat big

Curtis

@FATeknollogee the test account you have is in Germany. Did you even notice any lag?

I haven't tried to "attach" any sizeable files yet.

FATeknollogee

btw, is this all mailcow: dockerized?

@Curtis
You know, I could just edit my offer and remove location. Then we could concentrate on hijacking the OP

Curtis

@FATeknollogee we will have to test it
