Looking for VPS in unpopular Pacific regions

ngktbot

I've been seeking for VPS located in Brunei/East Timor/Papua New Guinea and other Pacific island countries, and hoping to know if you have good ideas for it.

Budget: Not certain, as affordable as possible.

Servers in Philippines/Malaysia/Indonesia are not the target.

What requirements are you looking for? It's really difficult not knowing what to look for.
I imagine they can go from a few $'s to $100's. Especially in the Pacific Islands.

Servers in the Philippines/Malaysia/Indonesia were probably the easiest to find, but you crossed them off.

I hope to run some bench tests on such VM, CPU bench/IO test/net speed test/traceroute test. Kind of experimental usage.

OS version: the newer, the better
Net speed: At least 10Mbps
Upstream providers: Prefer local ISP to international tier1
Price: I know the price difference between one and another is huge, so specifying an accurate price is really hard. Given that the providers are very few, I hope to know the lowest price amount them.

I know finding servers in the Philippines/Malaysia/Indonesia is easier, but because of its simplicity, I tempt to find more unpopular ones.

I only gave you a small list, some countries in the Pacific I did not check. Don't have time.
Also, I don't know geography that much.

I can't find any in Brunei/East Timor/Papua New Guinea.
Through advertisements, these companies below claim to have places in the Pacific Islands.

The ones I labeled Multi Data Center some have other locations in the pacific areas. Not all of them though...

I don't believe these companies below, but need account to check

Good luck, hope you find what you are looking for. Some of those host have bad ratings, that doesn't always matter though. Some of those companies have bad ratings for support but good rating for service.

No. don't believe the seo spam by ovh....

They only have dcs in singapore/sydney/mumbai/france/canada/uk/poland/germany.

So I would double check on the others as well.

Thanks, but I said

these companies below claim to have places in the Pacific Islands.

I just made a list of the companies making those claims.

If you are looking for VPS in those locations by all means, you can check them.

Sorry if they are wrong... I was just trying to help, not anything I can do if they false advertise.

@Nanja

my post wasn't against you or your effort. I just hate those companies stupidity to do that kind of seo spam, e.g. ovh with their "vps in every country" seo spam...

Does not seem to actually be hosted in Fiji:

Our servers, support, and data centers are networked in Sydney (Australia), London (UK) and Los Angeles (USA).

Just seo spam

Perhaps they sold in fiji at some point and decided to stop?

Is ExoticVM still updated? I contacted a bunch of hosts on that list in 2021-ish, and some of them were just completely dead and I still see the dead ones in the current list
