Performance
Here's a recent capture of the performance of our nodes:
For best performance, we recommend using a VPS in the same region + datacenter as the node. Node information is located on the dashboard.
Understanding VPS latency
With a VPS running in the same region + datacenter, we regularly see sub-5ms latency times:
$ ping -c 5 $NODE_URL rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 4.213/4.234/4.260/0.016 ms
We do not currently provide VPS services for our users, but we can provide some support on setting one up -- namely, choosing the right place/configuration. The above stats were measured on a $5/mo VPS, so you may want to factor that cost into your calculations to use our nodes.
