Server Hosting Providers

This list is not a comprehensive list of hosting providers, only those that DataPlane.org has recently utilized are included. Therefore, by definition, this is a woefully incomplete and imperfect list of server hosting providers.

DataPlane.org utilizes server hosting providers for a variety of data, feeds and measurement projects. We generally use KVM-based virtual servers or dedicated (bare metal) systems that can run the latest stable version of Debian. Our resource requirements are modest. For example, as of this writing, a sensor VM with 512MB of RAM, a 10GB disk, and the equivalent of a shared 10 Mb/s link is more than enough. The ability to remotely reboot and re-install a minimal, relatively current Debian amd64 (x86_64) system without support intervention is highly desirable. Geographic diversity and a diverse set of IP address assignments across our sensor nodes is of particular interest and sometimes drives our interest in certain providers. With very few exceptions, PayPal billing is the payment method of choice. We are happy to provide complete contact information and even voice verification, but with very rare exception we do not do business with providers that request copies or scans of a personnel's government-issued identification or a billing statement.

Brief notes or comments about a server hosting provider based on DataPlane.org's experience with them may be included. Only factual or reasonably objective statements will be made about each provider listed here.

This list makes no endorsement for nor seeks to malign any specific provider. Rather, this list is simply a public record and accounting of some DataPlane.org activities.

Note to server hosting providers: You may not be listed here simply because we are not aware of you. You may also not be listed here, because we are aware of you and could not justify utilizing your services.

See the DataPlane.org home page for additional project and contact information.
