Alright cowboys, listen up. We’re looking for real data centers, no middlemen, no resellers, no basic VPS hosting. We need dedicated hardware that can power Ping’s infra.

Here’s what to submit:

✅ Data centers selling dedicated hardware, not VPS

✅ Cloud providers? Only if they offer bare metal

✅ Regional data centers are gold especially in Middle East, LATAM and Asia-Pacific. Try googling in your native language

⛔ No resellers or middlemen: avoid providers like OneProvider or anyone just flipping servers instead of running their own

🔍 Search by your geo location: The best finds are often local providers that aren't on everyones radar

How to Quickly Spot What Works for Ping

🔥 Good Providers (We Want These)

✅ They own their data centers (Look for mentions of "our infrastructure," "our facilities," or specific locations)

✅ They offer bare-metal servers. If you see "dedicated hardware," "physical servers," or "no virtualization," that's a green flag

✅ They operate regionally. Very few data centers support more than 10 countries, especially outside of Europe

🚫 Bad Providers (Skip These)

❌ Resellers – If they say "we partner with," "we provide access to multiple providers," or list multiple brands, they don’t own the hardware

❌ Only offer VPS or virtual servers – If you see "KVM," "OpenVZ," "Cloud instances," or "Virtual machines," it's not for us

❌ No real physical infrastructure – If their website doesn’t mention locations or show their own data centers, they’re likely just middlemen

💡 Quick Check:

1️⃣ Google their name + “data center” – If no results show their own facilities, probably a reseller
