Why host in Sydney
Australia is far from the rest of the internet: routes to Europe or the US add a lot of delay. A server in Sydney brings your site right next to Australian and New Zealand users. Sydney is the country’s largest interconnection point, with exchanges such as IX Australia.
Data protection
The Australian Privacy Act 1988 and its Australian Privacy Principles apply to many businesses. Government bodies and regulated industries often require data to stay in Australia.
