Datacenters in Angola / Africa

  • 772

I'm not sure if this is SF-appropriate but I've a client that wants to open his websites to the African market (specially Angola), the problem is that the websites that are served by our American / European servers are terribly slow when accessed from African locations, even with a 3.6Mbps Internet connection.

I'm guessing the low speed is due to the geographic distance but I'm not entirely sure.

I've been searching for a while (on Google and on Yellow Pages) for African data centers but I can't find anything that will let us host / rent a dedicated server, and I'm wondering if anyone has the same problem and most importantly, how did you solved it?

Some (fast) Websites that I know of:

    Here are the websites of 3 datacenters in South Africa:

    http://www.is.co.za/

    http://www.teraco.co.za/

    http://www.rsaweb.co.za/

    The last one seems to advertise what you're looking for.

    To clear up your sapo example: they are actually hosting that domain from Portugal.
