If you or your visitors/clients are in Asia, getting an Asian VPS is absolutely the best choice not only due to low ping, but also for long term reasons... You're actually helping if just a tiny bit, to improve the local Internet and high-tech infrastructure by 'investing' a bit of money (even if just a LEB's price) into local services, and this in turn pays for stuff like pulling new cables and creates local high-tech jobs, in turn creating demand for higher education, etc.
Whereas buying an US VPS you're just paying to an already rich, but dumb and greedy country who thinks it owns the world and the internet, and also support things like NSA's PRISM.
Let's end this "need low ping for Asia => get a LA VPS" nonsense.
Hmmm, India. Interesting location, might pick up one
Awesome stuff, Sal. Quality as always. Thanks for the dns too
What the hey.. I got one!
Pretty impressed with setup, I got my server info before I received my payment confirmation from paypal.. Premium stuff this Prometeus
For those interested; http://lg-pune.prometeus.net/ is now up.
I like your comment
Increasing the bandwidth will be great
I like it!
Trace to our NS1

Via Maxis 3.75G connection.
It's now down on IPv6:
We are being ddossed since Erawan posted. Not looking good.
How much traffic of ddos uncle Sal
I dont have details right now.... I'm out with family first time after months :-P
61.4 ms ping to Sri Lanka and thats bad! Even the Singapore is ~40ms away
If you want anyone to look at why is this so, and if anything can be done about it, you post a traceroute, not just complain with a useless ping number.
Traceroute to Pune
Traceroute to Milan
yeah I know. Had the same argument with the leapswitch guys while ago and I was too lazy to post a traceroute. It seems like problem still exists.
Hope this will get better with time, the change need to be driven from the bottom. If we leave big players to dictate rules, then their motivations will be the only which matter.
Ipv6 is an example, Asia is on the last /8 since the last year, yet infrasructure for ipv6 is not progressing ad much as it should. Small isp and clients must do as much pressure they can.
I'm putting the money I can, even if it will be a loss, I think it's the right thing to do as a long term project. You know I'm from Italy, not exactly the center of Internet :-)
I'm so sorry Uncle Sal, this is what I'm afraid of.
Maybe I have to move to another place for a moment, and please keep the vps off until it's safe.
No problem, I still don't understand why people need to target innocents.

Thanks :-)
Hello,
I was also away on a trip when the DDOS attacks happened. I am back in office now and we are implementing an automated system with great help from Prometeus to protect against such issues in the future.
We are also in talks with TATA to implement their cloud based mDDOS solution.
@prometeus does the Mirkotik Cloud Core router do good netflow collecting / exporting?
