Default How are blacknight servers so fast?

My sites are hosted with media temple and webhost.ie, and I thought webhost.ie were fast, until I had access to a site on a blackknight server, whooooah - lightning fast, so how do they do it??

why can't all hosting companies offer this kind of speed?

It's probably a mix of beefy servers and excellent connectivity

*cough*

This is not a support forum for blacknight. If you have an issue with their hosting then you should take it up with your hosting provider, yada yada yada...blaah...blaaaah.

babyboy808, I bet you were the type of kid who brought an apple into the teacher every day and sat right up the front of the class.

That's the dude from big brother a few years back! I don't watch it, really I don't!

Blacknight servers probably appear faster than what you are used to [in addition to "beefy servers and excellent connectivity"] because they are located closer to home - less hops maybe?

Oh, welcome back Mr. Doran! Haven't seen you online lately. Did you get that job for the summer you were looking for?
