Our web hosting platform is now open in Singapore. Singapore has been one of our own data center regions for years through our sister brands, and starting today, APlusHosting customers across Asia can host their websites there.
Why Singapore matters for Asia web hosting
Singapore is the most important internet hub in Southeast Asia. Its submarine cables connect directly to India, China, Japan, Korea, Australia, and the rest of the Asia Pacific region. For any business serving customers in Asia, this is where your hosting belongs.
From Singapore, your website reaches visitors in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Brunei, Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, Japan, South Korea, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Australia with very little delay. Singapore is also politically neutral and has world-class data center infrastructure, which is why most regional headquarters in Southeast Asia choose to host their websites there.
Who benefits most
You should pick Singapore for your hosting plan if:
- Most of your visitors live in Southeast Asia or the broader Asia Pacific region
- You run a business in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, India, or Australia
- You sell to customers across multiple Asian countries and want a single low-latency location that serves them all
- You serve customers in the Middle East (Singapore has fast routes to Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and the broader Gulf region)
- You want a second Asian location for redundancy alongside one of our other data centers
How to pick Singapore when you order
When you place your order, you will see a list of our data center locations. Pick “Singapore” from the list, finish your order, and your website will be deployed there. If you already have a hosting plan in another location and you want to move it, our support team can help.
A note on regional performance
Hosting your website in Singapore means your visitors in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Mumbai, Tokyo, Seoul, Sydney, and the rest of the region will see your pages load much faster than if your website was hosted in the United States or Europe. For an e-commerce store, a local business website, or a WordPress blog with Asian readers, that speed difference is what keeps visitors on your pages.
More locations are on the way
Singapore joins our growing list of ColossusCloud regions: Santa Clara, Las Vegas, Dallas, Ashburn, and Amsterdam. APlusHosting now runs on all of them, with more locations across Asia on the way through leading global cloud providers.
If you are already a customer and want to spin up a website closer to your Asian audience, log in to our Client Portal and add a plan in Singapore. If you are new here, take a look at our hosting plans and pick the data center that fits your audience.
