We embarked on this journey to bring websites closer to Sri Lanka and drastically reduce website loading times.
Being an island in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka had very few options other than hosting websites with big-name brands whose servers were in the USA. For years, everyone hosted their sites in the USA simply because there was no other option.
Now, things have changed. Sri Lanka has over 60,000 .LK domains registered, and demand for domains like .com, .net, and .org has tripled. What does this mean? We are going online - everything is moving online. But where are these systems hosted? Far away from home, in the USA.
This is where JetSpace.lk's mission comes in: bring websites closer to Sri Lanka. We explored data center options near Sri Lanka and even within the country, and ultimately partnered with a data center in Singapore to bring websites closer to home.
Now, when Sri Lankan websites are visited by Sri Lankans, the requests only travel to Singapore - connected via a direct submarine cable. This takes less than 40ms, drastically cutting down loading times compared to hosting in the USA.
"This was our dream, and now it's a reality."
