Late to this but I tested v6-only reachability from Melbourne last month on a hobby project. Telstra and Optus are fine, TPG still has pockets of v4-only in older suburbs. My mum on Aussie Broadband couldn't reach my test box at all.

For a bakery blog, losing your mum is probably unacceptable.

I had this exact thing with KnownHost two years ago. They called it "infrastructure evolution". Same doublespeak. Ended up paying double for a vm that booted slower. Never got my original price back. Even filed a ticket that went nowhere. The guarantee was worthless once they defined "legacy" howeve...

Wait, what? I thought they were the same price. Let me check... you're right. $6 vs $5 for the smallest plan. That's bizarre given Sydney's higher datacenter costs generally.

Maybe Melbourne is newer and they're amo...

Melbourne to Vultr's Sydney: 22ms stable. To their Singapore: 85ms. To Amsterdam: 320ms.

The Sydney location is fine but expensive compared to their US tiers. I run personal stuff on US locations and accept the latency. $5 vs $10 for same spec.

OVHcloud's Sydney is cheaper but the routing to Melbo...

Not weird at all. I have a small box. Six drives. Labeled with dates and failure modes.

I did something similar with Google Alerts plus a $15/month service from MarkMonitor's basic tier. Way less than $300/year and I actually get alerts that mean something.

The registrar bundles are worst in AU because our trademark system is already expensive. Don't let them make it worse.

Late to this, but I had a similar experience with RackNerd around 2am last year. Not 90 seconds, more like four minutes, but still a real human who understood the issue. I was on their cheapest tier at the time.

I get the skepticism, but some of these smaller provide...

The golf tweet. That was the real status page. Everything else was theater. Even their "we're sorry" had two exclamation points like they were excited about it.

I made a timeline. Hour by hour. Their marketing account posted a case study during the outage. No one noticed for six hours. Then they de...

Two dots for every pause. No exceptions. Even here. So you paid six dollars and expected what exactly. Fiber to the moon. These deals always end the same way. The money isnt in hosting. Its in the data they scrape while youre there. Or the upsell when they triple prices year two. Happened to me with...
