@William: do you have an ETA for availability or preordering?
Depending on whether you are an optimist or a pessimist, you can either say both the EU and the US will have an equally good ping to your VPS, or you can say they will have an equally sucky ping to it.
Seriously though, this is indeed the key point about Iceland - it's somewhere halfway between US and EU.
I would be interested in an Iceland VPS.
From UK.
Well sadly the ping sucks from the US

For the EU it might be ok to host a gameserver with 50-70ms ping but the 120+ms from the US are unacceptable
@William: Very interested, too. Will order 1-2 512MB VPS on this location if it will be available.
Getting over an NL VPN 70ms
I get around the same from UK. although on talktalk i can get the 60's range. Defo good location
I'm also interested in one 256
@nabo lol, I guess that epitomizes the need for sufficient sleep and rest after a days revision.. >_>
Iceland can now be preordered, delivery estimated 2 weeks
Hongkong can be preordered tommorow (with 4 weeks delivery time)
How can I preorder those locations?
Order as usual and select them in the country field
Use ICELANDONLY for 10% off at all products based in Iceland
Where on your site can we order this? I can't find the correct page.
Edit: Nevermind, found it
OK, I see it now ...
Darn, just ordered to fast :-/
@William - any details like bandwidth, IPv6 etc.?
I guess it'll be the same as the rest except that it just has 50% of the bandwith.
No IPv6, 50% less BW, anything else the same.
Additional TOS:
No porn allowed at all, no IRC Servers, no public proxys/vpn/Tor
I would add it, but can't really since you paid already
For Iceland only or Hong Kong also?
Thats a bit restrictive for a country that claims to be a free speech haven.
There's a pretty big difference between free speech and pornographic law.
Free speech doesn't mean anarchy. ;-)
HK:
IPv6 (HE BGP tunnel, EDIS own IPs) available - 75% less BW - Maybe 1-5EUR more costs (decided tommorow)
It's a law. Nothing we can do.
deleted my post again ... just saw, that all questions were answered by William already ;-)
Gerhard
I noticed the preorder option on KVM - will the initial deploy be KVM-only or will there be VRS?
Ah, I didn't know that.
Did i forget to add it to VRS?
I guess so, don't want to get my macbook now - will add VRS tommorow morning
(or if Gerhard reads this maybe he adds it in the configurable options :P)
Well it is not that problematic since it seems to be not enforced (currently at least) but better be safe than sorry.
Also, if enough want it i can setup a tunneled IPv6 with our own IPs over HE and back to Austria in Iceland as well - it's just a simple BGP setup after all.
But the latency is not the best of course then.
