For best results, choose a storage provider where the sim/region has a restart day that is '''different''' from the one your main dropbox location is on. This helps combat delivery issues due to a single sim either being restarted at the time of delivery attempts, or the sim/region just not listening to the internet for delivery instructions at the moment.
That depends entirely upon whether the items you are selling are copiable TO YOU, THE MERCHANT (AND you keep a copy in your inventory!) or not.
If you are selling items such as gacha prizes, breedables, or other no-copy-to-you things that you have received, then you are at the best advantage on a MAINLAND hosting location.
Unfortunately, in 2020, the Lindens decided to make ALL the server code names '''THE SAME''' - so there's no easy way to tell anymore, you'll need to ALREADY know what day the sim restarts on.
Why?
There is a HUD available that will at least tell you when the region was LAST restarted. Made by [secondlife:///app/agent/f979c0a5-577e-43ca-868a-e9e0d86a1631/about Antony Fairport], that's available [https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/ZA-Region-Info-HUD/7241831 on Marketplace], and is completely free.
Because if the storage/hosting provider on a mainland location closes up shop, at worst, your items will just be sent back to your lost and found in a clump. You'll have to rez and separate them, but at least you will HAVE them.
='''<span style="color:#00528c">Which is better?</span>'''=
However, If you have rented space on an island, and the provider closes up shop and drops the island? Your items are just...GONE. No retrieval, no second chances.
It depends on whether you are selling products which are no-copy to you, the merchant, or copy/transfer to you, the merchant.
That is why the list is now divided into mainland vs island locations.
=== No-Copy to Merchant ===
='''<span style="color:#00528c">Why do the restart days matter?</span>'''=
----
Because if you have your dropboxes on 3 different regions, and they're all restarting on the same day, they could all be down at the same time - which could make your sales fail.
If you are selling products which are '''no-copy''' to you, the merchant, (such as breedable things or gacha items) then '''stick with a location on a mainland region''' - the worst that happens with mainland is your stuff gets sent back. You'll still HAVE your inventory, you just may need to fish it out of a clump in your lost and found.
For best results, choose a storage provider where the sim/region has a restart day that is '''different''' from the one your main dropbox location is on. This helps combat delivery issues due to a single sim either being restarted at the time of delivery attempts, or the sim/region just not listening to the internet for delivery instructions at the moment.
If you're not inworld for a while and an island you're renting dropbox space on gets turned off in the meantime, that box of no-copy things may simply be '''gone forever''' with no retrieval possible.
<s>Unfortunately, in 2020, the Lindens decided to make ALL the server code names '''THE SAME''' - so there's no easy way to tell which is which anymore, you'll need to ALREADY know what day the sim restarts on.</s>
=== Copy/Transfer to Merchant ===
As of April 2024, the region names are BACK!
----
If your products are copy/transfer to you, the merchant, then as long as you '''keep a copy in your inventory''' it doesn't matter whether you rent on mainland or island estates.
