It tells me that lemmy.ca is hosted in Washington state. Link: https://iplookup.flagfox.net/?ip=208.87.97.51&host=lemmy.ca. I'd like to know if this is accurate.

Ideally I'd like to have the data be hosted in Canada and hence under Canadian law as opposed to US law.

I'd also be interested in hearing other opinions on this.

I would love to post a traceroute but it appears that the traffic path that I know was routed through the states is no longer doing so, so it could take some work. Who knows, maybe they were told to fix things?

Hyper Expert is cheap, that's all I can really say about it. They've done some pretty crazily unimpressive things, but I moved VPSes on to a dedicated server and I've hardly had to deal with them since.

If you need a little VPS I can say that Linode and Digital Ocean have been mostly fine.
