Vultr Australia now Open!

in Offers

We have completed our Australia deployment. Those of you that were waiting for this service can now launch instances in Sydney, Australia! We are now fully available in 9 locations.

With only 3 locales left to augment we've decided to add Miami Florida... and we won't be stopping there. We're building a fully scaleable standardized platform around the globe!

    Sweet!

    Congratulations, Australia closer to southeast Asia, but Singapore is still the best for southeast asia. Very interesting if Vultr add more location. Because Southeast Asia has a population 500 million people.

    Nice job!

    Great news!

    Question regarding bandwidth -- if you spin up say the smallest instance which includes 100GB, but you only have the instance running for 24 hours then destroy it, does that mean you get 100GB/30days = ~3.3GB?

    i.e. if suppose during those 24 hours I used 10GB of data, I'd be paying 10 - 3.3 = 6.7GB of overage at 15c/GB?

    Also, are there any plans to provide addon bandwidth packs? (at something more economical than 15c/GB :])

    YES OMG I LOVE YOU!! @DaveA

  • BradBrad Member

    Wow, very nice! This certainly is exciting and I wish you the best with any further locations. This may have been answered already, but when will additional IPs be available?

    Additional IP's are already available in NJ and Chicago. More to come.

    Yes bandwidth would be prorated hourly.

    There's simply no way in AU/JP to offer cheap bandwidth. Unless the telco situation changes it will always be cheaper to push bandwidth from LA -> JP or CN rather than being local. Singapore is one of the only locations in Asia with competitively priced bandwidth. We are currently looking into Singapore as an option in Asia.

    The same goes for South america. It's cheaper to push 5Gbps from Miami to Brazil than to host a server in brazil and push 100Mbps. We will increase bandwidth and reduce GB pricing as soon as its feasible.

    FWIW http://www.networkpresence.com.au/hosting/vps-plans/value-vps.html offers a $5/mo plan with 1TB of data included, they exclude traffic that arrives to/from IXes, and the limit is on the larger of in/outbound.

    Also, http://www.exigent.com.au/servers/vds-essential-pricing.php offers 1TB across all of their Xen plans (they also have OpenVZ which is even cheaper).

    Whilst they're not exactly the same offerings as Vultr (diff CPUs, and non-SSD) I use these providers purely as examples that bandwidth doesn't have to be super expensive.

    If you could offer something like $5/100GB as an addon that would be attractive. It's equivalent to saying "I'll buy the smallest VPS as an addon, purely for the bandwidth; Vultr can keep the CPU, RAM and SSD" :]

    1TB is not able to be pushed on these plans. 2mb/sec download from local infrastructure maximum. International is around 1mb/sec. I'd know, I have one.

    From Vultr to NP:

    4% [>                                      ] 35,277,397  2.22M/s  eta 4m 21s

    From NP to Vultr:

    100%[=======================================>] 801,284,354 26.0M/s in 30s

    So if you're looking to download faster than your home internet, go with Vultr. If you're serving a small amount of content, go with NP.

    ~642 gigabytes / month max from local infrastructure.

    ~321 gigabytes / month max from international.

    I've been wanting the Australia location for 1 month. Since I just saw the Bandwidth this morning, what? 100G for the $5 plan? nvm... I know another Aussie provider with larger BW & Disk, whose price is acceptable and compatible as well. by the way, I don't think it's a good idea to have ram increased by 256mb while the disk was dropped by 5G. I was going to switch from digitalocean to vultr but I don't think so now.

    anyway, good luck .

    Yeah, me too hoping the same thing. I hope more option will be available in SEA

    Is anyone know why is Sydney to Tokyo, shorter/lower that SIngapore? :)

    This simply isn't true. I use one of those $5 NP VPS to bulk serve game map files and regularly push 10MB/s (when the game server changes to a map players don't have they all slam it at the same time).

  • goosmurfgoosmurf Member

    NP released their own SSD based KVM plans: https://networkpresence.com.au/hosting/vps-plans/kvm-ssd-vps.html

    That bandwidth O_O

  • BluBoyBluBoy Member

    Is there a way to see the bandwidth available in Australia without creating an account? Is it not 1,000Mb for the $5 plan?
