Australian IRC hosts?

Ishaq

Hey all,

Anyone know any hosts that allow IRC in Australia? I've heard good things about RansomIT, but they don't allow IRC daemons.

Also, I prefer paying by Paypal.

Thanks!

Ishaq

Oh, and it should be KVM virtualization.

No idea for Australia. Why does it need to be there exactly? Not like latency makes and difference with a ircd? I used FDC when i was running ircds and it worked well. They use OnAPP+? not sure.

Just a thought.

@RealVPSReview

It has better latency to those connecting to the IRC from Australia. That's the idea.

Try Google and WebhostingTalk.

I quickly found these Australian hosts listed on WHT using Google..

Just put it on the west coast, for IRC it's 140ms to 220ms ping. Perth will have a longer ping time, but for the rest of Australia that should be fine.

Do you know which locations/DCs/providers can get 140ms? We're in Sydney here and of all the providers I've tried in the US, the best I could get was ~190ms. I've tried this also with different ISPs here to confirm if it's specific route issues etc. This is just a simple ping.

@concerto49 I get just under 200ms to Fremont in Melbourne.

About the same here. I'm just wondering how to get 140ms :p VNC with ~200ms still isn't fun on Windows.

What do you get to them?

I know it's not Australia but I think it will still only be ~140ms

Is it for a private IRC network? I might change my TOS...

I'm getting 47ms on that, nice!

@Oliver

Public, it's fine though.. found another host in AU.

Oliver

Who? If you don't mind me asking. :-)

@Oliver are you updating your LEB offer this month?

Oliver

No I am not, sorry.

I will probably not be changing it till I put another node in which will run with KVM anyway.

@Ishaq Did you get the smallest $20 a month cloud server?

Ishaq

@Oliver

The AU location comes to $40, but I got a little deal there.. plus it comes with 150GB of b/w

Oliver

Do you mind sending me the IP when you have it? I'd also be interested to see some speed tests. I presume it's in Sydney...

Ishaq

@Oliver

I guess, sure. It is in Sydney, yes. With a 1Gbit port speed.
