Just wondering if anybody else rents servers or VPSes by the hour in NZ apart from Orcon? Sort of an EC2 type setup.
Okay, thankyou to the 7 (!) people who pointed my at wheresmyserver.co.nz, they are certainly going down as an option. A couple of other vendors who don't offer the service right now also emailed me offlist indicating that they may in future. I'm probably not a big enough to be worth creating a product for so if others are interested in buying this sort of thing I'd encourage them to let the vendors know. Links: http://www.wheresmyserver.co.nz/ http://www.orcon.net.nz/work/cloud_plan/cloud_computing_server The availability of multiple vendors means that the project will probably go ahead in a month or two. Which reminds me. Our team is currently looking for a System Engineer. Top 10 NZ Website, Auckland CBD, Linux (RHEL/Centos), a bit of networking and a bunch of other stuff. Could be junior or senior. Email me. You might even get to roll this project out :) -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar | eMT. _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
