I chose Rimuhosting as they pre-install Jetty and JBoss which panders to my Java bias. A number of months down the line I can say that it is a good experience. There were a couple of teething issues on the host box that I was running on during the development phase of the project. Both times though rimuhosting were very quick to respond and fix the errors. I can strongly recommend trying out VPS to anyone that is going to setup a database driven site.

Well Connected Data Centers

RimuHosting uses data centers in multiple countries.  This lets you host with a server closest to you or your users.  We currently use data centers in the following locations:

These locations let you choose a server nearest your US, European or Australasian users.

Each data center has redundant UPS systems, generator backup, closed circuit monitoring, card key access, 24-hour guards and redundant a/c systems.  Rest assured your hardware is being well taken care of.

Dallas Data Center

The Dallas-based data center we use, colo4dallas, provides a reliable, fast and affordable mix of BGP routed bandwidth. The main network provider is Cogent/Level(3).  And there is a also a premium quality mix of Interna/Level(3) bandwidth available on some servers.  The data center run a Cisco networking environment.  And is staffed 24x7 by technicians who perform all our remote hands work (e.g. changing drives, memory or swapping servers).  For a sample ping try host90.rimuhosting.com.

The servers we purchase and colocate at the Dallas data center are the latest and greatest our money can buy, so we are able to offer customers great pricing on extra memory and disk space.

If you are not sure which data center to go with then we recommend you setup your VPS or dedicated server at this data center.  We host most of our customers at this facility.

Order a Dallas-based VPS, a semi-dedicated VPS or a Dallas-based dedicated server.

London Data Center

The UK-based data center we use is located in Maidenhead (just outside of London).  It operates a Cisco and Extreme Networks powered network.  It has access to a 20Gbit network including Level(3) and Tiscali as carriers.  The data center is manned 24x7, and has diesel generator UPSs.  For a sample ping try host335.rimuhosting.com.

We recommend the London data center if most of your users are in Europe and low latency is critical to you.

Order a London-based VPS.  We can also provide a dedicated server at the London datacenter, just email us and we can get you a quote for one.

Sydney Data Center

In March 2008 we started colocating our Australia-based servers in the Global Switch data center.  This location is ideal when you need low latency to users in Australia, New Zealand or the western pacific rim Far East countries.  Network costs are quite high in Australia so the data transfer allowance included in the price is lower (at 6GB/month) than on other (e.g. Dallas, London or NY) servers.

Because we are colocating our own hardware here we can use very powerful servers.  The VPS plans here run on one of our fast servers (at the time of writing, a server with two quad core Xeon CPUs) with a heap of memory (12GB) and lots of disk space (four 750GB disks).

Some data center facts:

Brisbane Data Center

We have provided servers from a Brisbane-based data center.  Since March 2008 we have been colocating our servers in a Sydney-based data center so new setups are done there, where we are able to offer better pricing and resources.

NY Data Center

The NY data center we use, operated by Access IT, is in a huge 100,000 sq foot facility.  It has fat Gig-E connections to multiple networks including Savvis and T-Systems as well as private peering with ISPs at NJIIX.  For a sample ping try host31.rimuhosting.com.

The NY data center we use offers very generous data transfer allowances.  Plus its location makes it a great option to keep latency low if most of your users live in the US or Europe.

Order a NY-based VPS or NY-based dedicated server.

Choose VPS By Data Center

We do most of our VPS setups at the Dallas data center.  We think this data center offers a great mix of performance (with our most powerful host servers), reliability (with its premium network), and pricing (since we do so many setups there, economies of scale work in our favor).

We also offer VPS hosting from a few other data center locations.  Choose one of these options if you need a higher data transfer allowance than what we can offer in the Dallas data center.  Or if your users are near one of these locations and every millisecond of network latency is critical.
