Best hosting for global availability

    So, I've been with a lot of hosts in last 6 years. Currently I'm with Cloudways with a DO droplet.

    The only problem is that the people near to my datacenter have good load times due to low TTFB. But on the other places away from my datacenter, TTFB is pretty high which makes the load time miserable.

    Now, I know CDN should help here to make the site contents load from their nearest server. But the issue is that CDN only caches the static contents of a site like CSS, JS, and images. While the dynamic PHP is still loaded from your actual root server.

    So, is there any hosting provider that let's you choose multiple datacenters at once?

    If that is not possible, then is there any CDN provider that serves the entire site including the dynamic part?

    My goal is to have the lowest TTFB around the globe. If there's any other suggestion then kindly let me know :)

    most providers use cloudflare with railgun also another option is to install cloudlinux operating system on different servers throughout the world where to get the most traffic from best way to see where your users are coming from is using Google analytics and by servers for that area

    If you are on a healthy node/server, the TTFB won't be high enough to make the load time miserable, unless the node/server is located as far as in the Moon. Perhaps the node you are on is heavily overloaded.

    For shared (typical cPanel hosting, reseller, vps, cloud etc.) hosting? None to my knowledge. A proper cloud hosting using servers from multiple datacenters located in different geographical locations would be a good fit. However, such setups are expensive and do not provide shared hosting. You would probably need to setup your cloud.

    Cloudflare RailGun can cache dynamic content.

    That being said, do not put too much importance on the dynamic content unless you are having a very large number of daily visits. Consider being on a healthy server, optimize the scripts used in your site and/or use a cache from the server.

    Get a web hosting, VPS or a dedicated server with good and reputable company in the UK , with high speed connection and then use CDN such as CloudFlare, it is also available in cPanel as an module, so it's easy to setup and manage without hassle.

    In order to serve all web content (not just to cache the static content), there should be full mirroring of the account or server in each and every data center point. This is would be so expensive, that 99% percent would not buy it.

    I think that you can learn where major part of your audience comes from so you will be able to have Data center for your server as close as possible to them.
    In this case you will serve most of your audience. Mirroring also not instant and it will takes some time as well. Moreover that will requires additional $$

    Do you have some numbers? Like site loads in x seconds from location a, b etc.
    May be your hosting server is not responding quick enough.

    If your hosting does not involve gathering information(like updating some stats or something), but only rendering(like a wp site), then you could use anycast or DNS Geo based services.
    Like visitor from X, should go to server near X via anycast or DNS.
    For anycast vendor, I know vultr supports BGP, but you need to own a subnet. I don't know any vendor who offers anycast single IP along with VPS.
    There is OneProvider with several locations. But I think, you may be happy with just DO/Vultr/Linode.

    For DNS, you can program using PowerDNS + lua with maxmind database, and have visitors go to nearest DO/AWS/Vultr/Linode location.

    Why would an Indian guy buy from Australians?
    Wouldn't it make more sense to buy locally?

    Hello.

    Cloudflare CDN is able to cache all of your content.

    But I am affraid that TTFB could not be as good as you want all over the world.
    Because it depends also on internet infrastructure and connectivity.
    The speed of the web-hosting is important but you have to check their traces, ask them.
    Also you can test the hosting /before buy from them/ with tracert command in Command Prompt.
    If you run Windows - type CMD in the search field and then in the black screen write "tracert website.com" where website.com is the address of the hosting provider.

    Good luck.
