For websites that need a server in the United States, AsiaGB provides US Hosting on the infrastructure of OVHcloud's US-WEST-OR region, located in Hillsboro, Oregon — a suburb of Portland on the US West Coast. The key advantage of this location is geography: the West Coast is considerably closer to the Asia-Pacific region than the East Coast, so webmasters in Thailand enjoy a noticeably shorter connection when managing their server, while North American visitors still get fast, in-country page loads.
1. Who Is OVHcloud?
OVHcloud is the largest cloud provider in Europe, founded in France in 1999 and now operating more than 40 datacenters worldwide. What sets OVHcloud apart from most providers is that it assembles its own servers in its own production facilities and cools them with a proprietary water-cooling system developed in-house. Controlling the hardware pipeline end to end lets the company manage both build quality and energy efficiency from the very start.
Beyond hardware, OVHcloud has invested in its own backbone network linking its datacenters across regions, giving it direct control over how traffic is routed instead of relying entirely on third-party carriers. In the United States, services are operated by OVHcloud US, which applies the same datacenter design and network standards used across the company's European facilities.
2. Why Oregon (US-WEST-OR)?
A West Coast Location Closer to Asia
The US-WEST-OR region sits in Hillsboro, Oregon, a suburb of Portland on the western seaboard of the United States. Because the West Coast faces the Pacific, it is geographically closer to the Asia-Pacific region than the eastern side of the country. In practice, latency from Thailand to the server is approximately 160–220 ms — generally better than what connections to East Coast servers deliver.
What Thai Webmasters Gain
Even when a website's main audience is in the United States, the person logging in to manage the server every day is usually the site owner or developer back in Thailand. Lower latency means DirectAdmin feels more responsive, FTP uploads complete with less waiting, and database work over remote connections is smoother. Day-to-day administration across the Pacific simply feels less far away.
In short: OVHcloud Oregon (US-WEST-OR), USA offers a practical balance — North American visitors get an in-country server, while your team in Thailand gets the shortest reasonable hop across the Pacific.
3. Latency from Thailand Compared with Other AsiaGB Datacenters
AsiaGB offers hosting from three primary locations, so customers can match the datacenter to the audience of each website. The table below summarizes the options:
| Datacenter | Location | Best For | Latency from Thailand |
|---|---|---|---|
| CS Loxinfo | Bangkok, Thailand | 100% Thai audience | <20 ms |
| OVHcloud Singapore | Singapore | ASEAN audience | ~30–50 ms |
| OVHcloud Oregon (US-WEST-OR), USA | Hillsboro, Oregon, USA | North American audience / English sites | ~160–220 ms |
Important note: AsiaGB primarily serves hosting in Thailand and Singapore. US-WEST-OR is suited for projects specifically requiring a US-based server. If your primary audience is in Thailand or ASEAN, Thailand Hosting or Singapore Hosting will deliver a significantly better experience.
4. Who Is This For?
- English-language websites targeting North America — An in-country server keeps page loads fast for the primary audience
- Thai developers working for US clients — A demo and delivery server placed in the same region as the client
- Businesses that depend on US-based services — Some platforms or partners require data or connection endpoints located in the United States
- English affiliate and content sites — Serve American visitors with better TTFB than an Asian server can offer
5. One Standard, Two Regions: Singapore and Oregon
AsiaGB already runs its Singapore Hosting on OVHcloud infrastructure. Adding the US-WEST-OR region means customers get the same datacenter standard on both sides of the Pacific — the same approach to redundant power and network design, servers assembled on the same OVHcloud production lines, and the company's signature water-cooling system throughout.
The practical benefit: if your website's audience shifts from America toward Asia, or the other way around, moving between regions is straightforward because the server environment barely changes. The control panel, account structure, and administration workflow stay the same, and the AsiaGB team manages both regions with an identical set of standard procedures.
6. AsiaGB US Hosting Plans
US Hosting on OVHcloud Oregon (US-WEST-OR) starts at just 500 THB per year, and every plan includes AsiaGB's standard feature set:
- SSD storage — Fast reads and writes, well suited to WordPress sites and typical databases

After signing up, customers receive DirectAdmin login details by email and can start uploading their website or install WordPress through Softaculous right away. If you get stuck at any step, the support team is available through the ticket system.
7. Getting Started with DirectAdmin
AsiaGB US Hosting uses DirectAdmin as its control panel, the same as every other AsiaGB datacenter. DirectAdmin's interface is lightweight and loads quickly, so it stays responsive even when you are connecting across continents from Thailand to a server in Oregon. A typical setup flow looks like this:
- Point your domain's nameservers to the server using the details in your welcome email
- Create databases and email accounts for the domain through DirectAdmin
- Install WordPress or another CMS via Softaculous in one click
- Enable free Let's Encrypt SSL from the SSL Manager menu
- Upload your website content through File Manager or FTP, then verify everything renders correctly
If you are moving from another hosting provider, the AsiaGB team will migrate your data for you via the ticket system. The process typically takes a few hours depending on the size of the website, and announcing the migration window in advance helps keep visitor impact to a minimum.
8. Boosting Performance with CDN and Caching
A server in Oregon already delivers good speed for North American visitors, but if your audience spans several continents, pairing the server with a CDN takes performance a step further:
- Cloudflare (Free Plan): Enable Proxy Mode so static assets are cached at edge nodes near each visitor's region, cutting the number of requests that must travel back to the origin
- Browser caching and Gzip: Configure Cache-Control headers and enable compression via .htaccess to shrink response sizes
- WordPress caching plugins: Use WP Super Cache or a similar plugin to reduce PHP and database load on pages with many concurrent visitors
- Image optimization: Convert images to WebP and enable lazy loading to speed up first paint
9. SEO for English-Language Sites on a US Server
Google no longer uses server location as a major ranking factor, but server placement still influences user-experience signals — especially Time to First Byte (TTFB) for visitors in North America. An English-language site whose audience is in the United States therefore benefits from having its server in the same country as its readers, compared with hosting in Asia.
Alongside server placement, configure hreflang correctly if your site is multilingual, and set Geotargeting in Google Search Console to tell Google explicitly which country your site targets. Passing Core Web Vitals with a server close to your primary audience is the combination that supports both rankings and long-term visitor retention.
10. Frequently Asked Questions
Is OVHcloud Oregon suitable for a general Thai website?
It suits websites whose main audience is in the United States or North America. If your visitors are primarily Thai, Thailand Hosting with latency under 20 ms will give a much better experience.
What is the latency from Thailand to Oregon?
Approximately 160–220 ms. The West Coast location is closer to the Asia-Pacific region than the eastern side of the United States, so the connection from Thailand is comparatively shorter.
How does AsiaGB guarantee uptime?
AsiaGB guarantees 99% uptime under its SLA. If an outage exceeds the threshold, submit a ticket to request service credit.
How do backups work?
Automated backups run twice a month, on the 1st and 15th, covering both website files and databases. Restore requests can be made through the ticket system.
Can I use a CDN with a server in Oregon?
Yes. Cloudflare or any other CDN works as usual, reducing latency for visitors far from the server, such as audiences in Asia or Europe.
Can I migrate my website from my current host, and how do I contact support?
Yes. The team migrates your data free of charge via the ticket system at billing.in.th/submitticket.php or by email at [email protected]. Phone support at 065-449-9691 is available 24 hrs (Thai language only).
