Hosting providers optimize server performance and minimize latency for players in different regions by strategically locating data centers, employing content delivery networks (CDNs) to ensure a low-latency network, and implementing load balancing. However, there can be multiple more niche techniques to handle such a geographically dispersed user base. In addition, not all servers might have such optimizations in place. So, normally, it's best to pick the host having an optimally located server from the users.
