They are actually from NZ so if the above requirements are hard then
they may be no good. That said they have some things in their favour
o they have VPS servers in Brisbane (as well as Dallas, NY, and
London), so they may meet the intent rather then the letter of the
above requirements.
o choice of Linux distros
* Centos5 (RimuHosting Recommended Distro)
* RimuHosting Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4-based)
* Debian 4.0 (aka Etch)
* Debian 3.1 (aka Sarge)
* Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake with 5 yr long term support (LTS))
* Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn, latest 6 monthly release)
* Fedora 7
* Fedora Core 6
o I have heard them recommended quite a few times
o only offer products where you get root (SSH)
o offer discounts to OSS developers
USD $40/month buys a pretty decent package in the US, bandwidth on
the Aussie servers is more expensive than civilised places so they
cost more.
We are looking at a US based one for a client at the moment.
Cheers
