Anyone who needs Korean VPS?
We are currently developing VPS web interface and internal code. Before contracting with IDC, we'd like to know how many people in LET needs Korean VPS.
It'll be Xen powered VPS with one IPv4 address or private IP (with http proxy and port forwarding, and it'll be rather cheaper). Unfortunately, IPv6 is not available in Korea since IPv6 support is not available even in famous IDCs.
Server location is Daegu, South Korea, and the ISP is SK Broadband (100Mbps). In Tokyo, Dallas, and Freemont can use full 100Mbps speed. Germany was 6MB/s. We can’t give you a test link for speed test since we did not contract with IDC yet. Sorry.
We will use our custom codes for the control panel. I assure that our custom codes can provide more features than other solutions, such as SolusVM.
Price will be determined by LET guideline, which is starting from $7 with no setup fee. For the payment option, we can provide MasterCard, VISA, Paypal.
Server spec is Intel Xeon E3-1230V2 w/ RAID 10 disks. We promise that we do not oversell RAM, HDD, etc.
For customer service, English, Korean and Japanese are available; English CS might be rusty.
The most important thing is this; you do not need to go Korean embassy to request the Alien Registration Number. Unlike other VPS providers in Korea, we do not need your Alien Registration Number to use our services.
If your response is positive, we are planning to launch our service between August and September.

I'd take one. What would the bandwidth and hard drive space look like for the plans? And would IRC be allowed?
I'll be like
256MB/20GB HDD/500GB Bandwidth
512MB/50GB HDD/1TB Bandwidth
... and so on
And yes, IRC would be allowed.
Yes this is awesome. I am sure many people will be interested.
www.skbroadband.com this ISP?
50ms from Japan
40ms from Hong Kong
72ms from Singapore
...
...
As far as i know, LowEndBox prices are up to $7/month, not starting from $7/month. That's why it's called LowEndBox, and that's why we are all gathered here.
Nah, not really. Especially for Asian based locations it's totally fine if the provider has only one deal that fits the LEB needs/rules to get listed here.
Oh, completely misunderstood that part. But minimum plan (which I'll advertise when it is ready) will be cheaper than $7, more like $5 or something?
Yes, that ISP. And thank you!
Do whatevery you are comfertable with, sounds like a good deal. Just make sure the math all adds up. ;-)
For the offer to be allowed here it has to be below $7/month.
+1 for exotic location. I'll buy one just to support you!
Personally I don't have anything to use one for, but I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in a Korea VPS
What other peering does the datacenter have?
I'm here primarily for the popcorn not the low prices but I would be interested in a South Korea VPS. :P
50ms from Japan
40ms from Hong Kong
72ms from Singapore
414ms from my VPS in Chennai, India (routing is going India>London>then back east to Asia)
Yeah I'd get one, not easy to find stuff at that price close to Japan.
@shunny AS3786, LG Dacom. I'm not sure for exact AS number, though.
Pinging www.skbroadband.com [222.235.66.10] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 222.235.66.10: bytes=32 time=311ms TTL=240
bad ping from China
@Jylee how about 218.54.45.45? This is the official homepage ip of the DC that I mentioned on the post.
I would buy one without a second though. with the problems with my current VPS and moving to Korea soon having services already running would be great
Do we get our money back if North Korea decides it wants to implement its one Korea reunification plan?
Please inform me when you launch a Korean VPS.
I think Korea located in ASIA?
The routing and ping times on that IP from my VPS in India to Korea are much better than the ping times I posted earlier (the first ping times were to the skbroadband.com website). The routing is going through Singapore and ping times are around 290ms.
yes.... //facepalm
Interested if i can get 512 mb ~ 5$ per month
From what i'd guess (Seoul is just a few km off the border) there won't be much people left to send out refunds in this case...
Are you going to use your own AS?
No, SKs, BGP is restricted in KR.
interested,
i hope i cant try ur server,
FYI i have 70 vps in singapore, (i can proof to u if u want )
This is very complicated question... I think definately not going to happen though.
Sure thing! And yes.
We don't have plan for request AS from KISA, since we will not(more like can't) contract two or more different line with DC.
from Indonesia
this time I'm out
@tommy could have included more hops before the 8th, to make your trace a bit less useless in understanding what's actually going on.
@tommy Please ping/traceroute to 218.54.45.45. Server location of skbroadband.com is bit far from the DC that I mentioned above.
Defnitly interested. would buy a couple of 1GB boxes if prices right
This seems like a very neat deal indeed! Would definitely be interested in services in that part of the world!.
