Need dedicated server or VPS in South Korea

As a foreign company in Korea .We need a VPS or dedicated server in South Korea. Must be located in Korea . Not just price but credibility is important
Comments
It seems that http://www.speedtest.net is using Internet Brothers ( http://www.internetbrothers.co.kr )
For south Korea servers (According to their forum) I might consider IB for hosting
Any Idea?
I have heard about them in the past and they have had recommendations, that is all I can tell you but they have been portrait positive light in the past.
I checked their domain it seems their domain has been registered in 2001 that is 12 years in business . I will give them a phone call
If you or your co-workers are able to speak Korean, consider phps.kr. I have heard good reviews about them.
I used cafe24.com like 10 yrs ago, their KRW500/mo. plan.
They're still around and consistently expanding + upgrading. Probably worth a look if language isn't a barrier.
EDIT: Bandwidth limits are usually on a per-day basis on these Korean hosts.
If you are looking for credibility then there is also KT https://ucloudbiz.olleh.com/portal/ktcloudportal.epc.productintro.cspublic.html
In our office We have Korean staff but we need English support. And the problem with all those mentioned is that their support is a little funny, They have bulletin boards, every time you ask them some thing and they give a reply the forum get's locked and you can not answer further and you have to open a new thread.
For Koreans it might be OK but not for foreigners, On the other hand we need
the invoices in English not Korean.
Our Korean staff says cafe24 dedicated server is ridiculous . He says they have been doing a lot for shared hosting but they lack solid dedicated server offer so many restriction with them. Also when you want to buy even one additional IP we have to beg and beg.
Any more suggestion?
@Godlovesyou Wow, I didn't know their dedicated was that bad. The only Korean host I've personally seen actively targeting the English-speaking market is Internet Brothers.
Yes I talked with a guy , He is fluent in English and very helpful. Apparently they are hosting a lot of foreign mission and corporations in Seoul.
I am thinking of visiting them in their data center but before I do please give more suggestions
For dedi,
dirt cheap. lowenddedi: http://www.tongkni.co.kr/
reasonable price and somewhat reliable. They have great monitoring services all included for free: http://www.cloudv.kr/
For "cloud"
expensive but great credibility(doesn't necessarily mean good reliability, though. At least from my pingdom record): http://en.ucloudbiz.olleh.com/ (And they do have official English support)
For VPS,
dirt cheap and reliable: http://www.cafe24.com/
... these are companies that come into my mind right away
huh? KT/olleh is not expensive... cheapest VPS is like 15$ per month and includes a TB bw..
Very nice @ http://www.tongkni.co.kr/
RAM DDR3 4G 12800U Samsung
HDD SATA3 1TB(1,000GB) + SATA3 1TB(1,000GB)
트래픽 기본 트래픽 10Mbps (1Gbps Line 제공)
월이용료 월 48,000원
= $45/mo
fyi, many Korean providers have a lot of restrictions. for instance, outbound international traffic is often limited and just one additional ip requires a lot of justification.
All of Korean companies do have some of these restrictions but olleh ucloud. They are backed by KT, the biggest network provider in Korea. The only downside is that they are expensive. And... from my personal experience, not enterprise class reliability. I'm not sure about this... I used their service since they were in beta and that might be why.
Again, Ucloud is not expensive for Asia... i'm not sure where you buy your VPS usually...
http://cafe24.com/ - maybe OpenVZ or Virtuozzo
http://www.woobi.co.kr/ - maybe KVM
http://sqs.kr/ - VMWare (Full Virtualization) but sqs.kr has many bad review.
http://phps.kr/
http://nflint.com/
Just to note, there are quite a few good 'server' hosting companies in Korea. It's just that most of them don't have English support and require a means of identification be it IPIN or something else. I would recommend InternetBrothers as your provider if you need English support.
Thanks We signed up with them. Will give some reviews in a few months
WTF?! I didn't know they allowed religious nut jobs here. Just select the sig area and you see the above message!
I agree with Shunny
I had a lot of troubles with companies in Korea before because most of them did not support English specially after office hours all their staff can do is to reboot, reboot , reboot .
On the other hand they seem to overcharge foreigners. As soon as they know the buyer is a foreigner they have this idea that they will end up with a lot lot international bandwidth and illegal stuff.
To save money most Korean companies have very few staff after office hours but I have a couple of servers with Internet Brothers every time I contact them I get right to the point response.
I recommend them as well. Good luck.
And you just signed up today just to post this valuable piece of spam?
Wat.
