VPS Location and Website Performance

[Feckers]

Does choosing a VPS location close to your main audience make a noticeable difference in website speed? I’m considering servers in Europe and the US and would appreciate advice from experienced users.

What’s this got to do with forex trading?

Location definitely matters, but it depends what the VPS is actually doing. I use BeeksFx LD4 offered by HFM free of charge if you meet turnover requirements. For a normal website, being near the audience or using a CDN helps; for an EA/trading setup, I’d care much more about latency to the broker’s trading server than where the users are.
