Aussie Based Servers / Hosting - Dotable

blaze · 22nd February 2007, 05:31 PM

Just a Quick question,

Are there any plans for Australian based servers at any point?

I'd like to register my interested that I would be willing to upgrade to an australian server on a reseller account if you do offer Australian servers. Theres no way I'd change company but that is one thing I would quite like.

Any ideas?

Cheers

You'd have to be prepared to pay more though as Australian bandwidth is many times more expensive than US bandwidth (last time I looked it was as high as a couple of hundred dollars a gigabyte!)

I do know this, which is why I'd be prepared to pay more.

There is a reuptable aussie hosting company who does reseller accounts as follows: 1gb space + 20gb bw = $30/mo..... 2gb + 40gb = $45/mo etc etc....

I'd be willing to pay more than that if Dotable provided something similar.

There's some pretty serious bandwidth overselling there. If we offered Aussie based servers, they would be around double the price of the current Dotable plans. It's on the cards, and could be under a separate hosting brand altogether, targetted to that niche.

I would be interested in an Aussie server as well as I've got one in the US already but good pings and maintenance in Aussie night times would be nice.

Well it wasn't long since I asked and AU plans are already available. Thanks dotable! Purely fantastic!

I'll send out an announcement when they're ready for inhabitants. Should be in the next few days.
