Thai hosting company

[drh1010]

Can anyone recommend a good Thai hosting company for a business website which will operate within Thailand? 

Or would it be better to use a host from a country nearby such as Singapore?

Probably Singapore.

It depends you'll use the co.th or .com or whatsoever. If your domain is registered with co.th, you may also think about to rent a dedicated Server Space in a Data Center in Thailand. 

 

But all starts with the needed Traffic and needed Server Space. And secondly, what kind of Site/Business you will run, or you'll doing something with Data/File 'exchange' or some like that. Even a Hoster promote that unlimited Traffic and/or Space etc., there will be some limitation, in most cases Hosters limiting the size of Files and so on.

 

There's also the way to run your own Hosting on your own Server/System. For such you would need a static/fixed Internet IP and an Internet Account with a good Upload speed. Using such system would give you 100% control which you would never have via a Hoster!

I wouldn't use Singapore because of its Law! Beside of that, Singapore is the most expensive City in the world and that also applies to the Internet, if its need for business!

I have sites hosted in Singapore. It costs half what Thai hosting would cost, and is many times better. In fact I pay no more for hosting in Singapore than I do for hosting in the US or UK or Europe. The EU hosting company I use offers a choice of 7 different locations for exactly the same price.

^This. Best value: a USA, UK, or EU provider who'll let you choose the hosting at a data center in Singapore.

Thanks for your help everyone. I think I will go down the route of a UK based host which has the ability to host the site in Singapore. Vida Host seem to be able to do this. If anyone has any personal recommendations please feel free to post them.

I would choose singapore vps like digitalocean 5 usd plan and cloudflare free cdn so 3bb users will access faster for free.

Try siteground.com, they have facilities in data centres around the world and one of the options is to host in Singapore. Their technical support is very prompt and I've had no problems with them over the last 3 or 4 years.

 

Don't host in Thailand. You wouldn't believe some of the things that can happen.

Had you considered using Google Cloud Storage to host the site? You can specify Singapore as the data location.

 

This has a number of advantages:

 

- High availability

- High speed

- Cost based upon usage (storage, data transfer) and includes a free tier.

I used to use vidahost when I had sites hosted in the UK.   

Really good company, great customer service.  I bricked my site on Xmas day, and wasn't paying for backups, rang them up and they reinstated a back up for free within 30 mins.

Can't comment on their Singapore service though.
