  • @William: do you have an ETA for availability or preordering?

    @gsrdgrdghd said: It would be great if the server also had a good connection to the USA, people form both the EU and US have a ~60-70 ping

    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.

    For Iceland, they have the advantage of being the Atlantic’s midpoint. Monroe said, “You’ve got a tremendous opportunity for centralizing data that would need to be replicated in Europe and North America. Iceland starts to become the center point along that route.” -- http://www.valuewalk.com/2012/03/iceland-datacenters-lure-microsoft-corporation-msft/

  • I would be interested in an Iceland VPS.

    Well sadly the ping sucks from the US
    http://just-ping.com/index.php?vh=193.107.86.1&c=&s=ping!

    For the EU it might be ok to host a gameserver with 50-70ms ping but the 120+ms from the US are unacceptable

  • AmfyAmfy Member

    @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)

  • gbshousegbshouse Member, Host Rep

    How can I preorder those locations?

  • WilliamWilliam Member

    Order as usual and select them in the country field :)

  • WilliamWilliam Member

    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 :)

  • gbshousegbshouse Member, Host Rep

    OK, I see it now ...

  • nabonabo Member

    @William said: Use ICELANDONLY for 10% off at all products based in Iceland :)

    Darn, just ordered to fast :-/

  • gbshousegbshouse Member, Host Rep

    @William - any details like bandwidth, IPv6 etc.?

  • nabonabo Member

    @gbshouse said: 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.

  • WilliamWilliam Member

    @gbshouse said: @William - any details like bandwidth, IPv6 etc.?

    No IPv6, 50% less BW, anything else the same.

    Additional TOS:
    No porn allowed at all, no IRC Servers, no public proxys/vpn/Tor

  • ElliotJElliotJ Member

    @gbshouse said: @William - any details like bandwidth, IPv6 etc.?

    @William said: Same as usual (less BW maybe), no (native) IPv6 but... Iceland :)

  • WilliamWilliam Member

    @nabo said: Darn, just ordered to fast :-/

    I would add it, but can't really since you paid already :(

  • gbshousegbshouse Member, Host Rep

    @William said: No IPv6, 50% less BW, anything else the same.

    For Iceland only or Hong Kong also?

    @William said: No porn

    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. ;-)

  • WilliamWilliam Member

    @gbshouse said: For Iceland only or Hong Kong also?

    HK:
    IPv6 (HE BGP tunnel, EDIS own IPs) available - 75% less BW - Maybe 1-5EUR more costs (decided tommorow)

    @antiven said: Thats a bit restrictive for a country that claims to be a free speech haven.

    It's a law. Nothing we can do.

  • I noticed the preorder option on KVM - will the initial deploy be KVM-only or will there be VRS?

  • antivenantiven Member

    Ah, I didn't know that.

  • WilliamWilliam Member

    @lioncola said: I noticed the preorder option on KVM - will the initial deploy be KVM-only or will there be VRS?

    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)

    @antiven said: Ah, I didn't know that.

    Well it is not that problematic since it seems to be not enforced (currently at least) but better be safe than sorry.

  • WilliamWilliam Member

    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.
