Hi, I'm looking for a cheap VPS that will mostly be used for imap archives.

Key criteria: Australian company; Australian datacenter; storage min 10 GB; bandwidth does not need to be large (1 GB/mo should be OK as this is for archive folders, not day-to-day inbox backups); root and iptables access (I need to be able to rsync).

Prefer: CentOS distribution.

Thanks for any pointers!

Perhaps to clarify: Cheap means sub-$20. I already know of several (e.g. Crucial Paradigm, 10 GB storage for $15) which do fit this criteria. I regard $35 as mid-range for 10 GB, not cheap.

Hi Andrew, that one might work, I'll check you out!

Thanks for understanding my needs, i.e. not "more for less", but rather something simple and skewed towards disk rather than bandwidth/memory.

No problem Feel free to get in touch if you want more information or want to go ahead with it.

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi, another Australian company who I already have a (more expensive) VPS with offered me an add-on to my plan which lets me achieve the goal of the original post.

The add-on wasn't advertised on their web site. Thanks very much to everyone who responded, I certainly have an idea where to look if I need things in the future.
