One of the big questions that come of when looking at Vent hosting is location. Most Vent hosting sites are going to have multiple locations so if you have a wide spread gaming community you need to consider the locations offered by the hosting company before choosing the company. Most of them list this information in public assessable areas.

An initial step in the process is to investigate your gaming community to get a list of members. Typically, in a guild host, forum, or other community service, you can pretty rapidly compile this information. Of course, you need to make sure gamers understand why you are asking for this info.

After you know the location of all the gamers, then common sense tells you that you look for a host location that is as near the center of the group as is possible. Ideally, everyone should be able to access the server and the service with with the same bandwidth and quality. You can now look for various locations of your guild host and pick the one the works best for your group.

With these steps, you have now provided nearly equal access to all members to the server. A few years back, it was almost impossible to obtain a centrally located host because there where so few locations available. Fortunately, the number of hosts have increases and improved internet speeds makes it possible for gamers to be located further away and still get great quality.

Previous to the speed increase in the internet and the larger availability of servers in Vent hosting companies you have to be close to or in the same city as the serve location in order to be assured of a connection to the server. Now you can be anywhere and get a connection. It does however work better the closer you are and most people choose the Vent hosting location closest to them or in this case centrally located so that all members can have access.

By really paying attention to detail when selecting your location, you are insuring equality, and you ensure that everyone has similar speeds based due to the distance between connection points. While this is not as major an issue as in the past, there are cases where it is important to make sure that you have the shortest distance between points. This very simple step will really help insure your gaming community as the best possible experience.
