Good point, thank you.

It may actually be a good thing that it's not replicated. That forces me to really make sure I have a separate backup elsewhere.

Good to know, thank you!

I’m assuming bloopernova is based in Europe, so latency should be fine. At least they asked for an European-based Hoster (although that could also theoretically be for privacy reasons).

you should still be able to saturate your bandwidth with poor latency
