Hi, I am located in the UK, currently my Amazon SES region is in Oregon, would it be better for me to switch to Ireland?

  • Hi Goran,

    Good question.

    It doesn't matter where you are physically located, what matters is where your server is located.

    If your server is located in the UK, selecting the 'Ireland' region would be best.

    When you send a newsletter, Sendy transfers your email from your server to Amazon SES servers for sending. The closer it is between your hosting server and Amazon SES server, the faster the transfer, the lesser the latency due to geography which translates to better sending speed.

    Check with your host where your hosting server is physically located, then make the right region selection decision.

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards,
    Ben

  • Awesome thank you, great help!

    Thanks

    Goran
