I’m considering getting a VPS in Australia since I’m originally from Australia and one of my sites has traffic primarily from Victoria and NSW, but I’m currently hosting it out of Las Vegas (BuyVM). Does anyone on this forum have any experience with FlowVPS?
Service/uptime is great. I wouldn’t know about routing/etc within Australia though, just using it for geo distribution. I’d say they’re a good option, especially in the LE price range.
Thanks! FlowVPS uses ColoAU for primary upstream, they have PoPs in all major cities in AU with transit and IX connections. Your packets are in good hands!
@Brendan Do you have any cheaper plans (eg. with 2 GB RAM, or even 1 GB RAM would be okay for me), or are these the best prices you have the moment? They do look pretty cheap for Australia.
I can do a cheaper one with less specs for you. Give me 5 min and I’ll post an offer
GST is charged on all services irrespective of the buyers location as the service is technically rendered inside AU. I always build it into the advertised price as that’s the standard practice here and I’d feel like I was misleading people otherwise.
FlowVPS is definitely premium and awesome. I had a service with them in Melbourne and it was amazing. Me being the tightass that I am let it go and “settled” for Sydney elsewhere, but word on the street is they are expanding to other cities too, so I’m keeping a close watch
This is one of the comments that convinced me to sign up. Thanks!
By the way @Brendan, do you count both incoming and outgoing traffic, or only incoming, or only outgoing? No hosts seem to be consistent with exactly what they count - I’ve seen some with only incoming traffic metered, and others with only outgoing traffic metered.
Ha, I’d love that. Thanks for the offer! You can send them to the address listed on my FlowVPS account (in Palo Alto, CA).
I can send you a few bucks for postage… The affordability of your VPSes, combined with how quickly you reply to support tickets, makes me feel like I should owe you more money
