    Hi there, I'm a web developer who hasn't been too decisive in settling down with a decent web hosting company. I've changed like 3 host over the past 2 years.

    I live in Singapore, but in future I want to develop my websites to cater to both Singapore as well as International, do you think I should stick with my SG servers or is it a better choice to get myself a webhosting package on a US server?:confused:

    Now you can use CDN service such as EdgeCast coz it will help your site load faster no matter from where its is access.

    Just read up on a few companies by searching their name in google along with complaints. The you will find out if there are any bad things about them.
