Downtime! Downtime! Downtime! I want FreeBSD! :-)

[Jamie-68]

Hello FreeBSD-Chat,

I've got a dedicated freebsd box in the US, the thing is rock solid,
in 4 years time, I think it's been down maybe 3 times and in all those
cases, it was a bone-head mistake on my part... I like FreeBSD.. a lot.

Anyway, my FreeBSD box is located in the US and doesn't offer the
bandwidth I need... so I went to the dark side and tried out a couple
Linux VPS type of deals.

Here are the applications I need to run (reliably):

. icecast
. shoutcast
. nginx

I need this to be outside the US, preferably Europe or Canada,
doesn't matter. (it's SOCAN licensed, and I just don't trust the
US politicians not to bow down to lobbyists)

I'll eventually need around 4TB/month of bandwidth if I'm *really*
lucky... but probably not for some time (if ever)

With Linux VPS's (I tried both KVM and OpenVZ)

I tried chvps.com and edis.at

Here's what happened:

Network errors! every hour or more! it happened with only 6 or so
stream connections, (INCLUDING the incoming ones)

Obviously, no one is going to become a regular listener if they
get booted off for 4 minutes every hour... this sucks!

Does anyone know of a place that'll rent out FreeBSD jails, with
2 IP numbers? (and by that, I don't mean FreeBSD running in a linux
virtualization compartment.. I mean, freebsd running on bare hardware)

I've never heard of this exactly, but TransIP offers fairly decent VPS hosting
for FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

You are an insult to my intelligence!  I demand that you log off

Notu sure if this will fit your needs, but I'm quite pleased with
http://hetzner.de (I've been with them for a month so far, no
objections).

There is no "auto" install for FreeBSD, but they offer a FreeBSD "rescue
system" (mfsBSD in fact) and you can proceed from there.  They even have
a help page which can get you started on installing.  No technical
support for FreeBSD but I guess you won't need that anyway.

They offer up to 4 additional IPs, 1 euro/month per IP, or you can get
subnets which of course costs a lot more.

The only problem you might have is bandwidth, but additional charges
when you go over the limit don't seem too bad.
