Our web hosting platform is now open in Ashburn, Virginia. Ashburn has been one of our own data center regions for years through our sister brands, and starting today, APlusHosting customers can host their websites there too.
Why Ashburn, Virginia matters
Ashburn is the largest data center hub in the world. More than 70 percent of the world’s internet traffic passes through it. For any business that needs east coast web hosting, this is the place to be.
Ashburn sits just outside Washington DC, with direct, low-latency routes to New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Atlanta, Miami, Charlotte, and the rest of the eastern United States. It also has the shortest paths across the Atlantic to Europe.
For your website, that proximity means faster page loads for your visitors and better search ranking on Google for east coast queries.
Who benefits most
You should pick Ashburn for your hosting plan if:
- Most of your customers live on the east coast of the United States
- You run a local business in Virginia, Maryland, DC, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, or any other east coast state
- Your audience spans both North America and Europe and you want a single location that serves both well
- You want a second east coast location for redundancy alongside one of our other data centers
