Do you have a server with at least 256 or 512 Mb RAM?

The listed servers can have their RAM upgraded for a one-time fee, or alternatively you can wait until next week for the new servers which will have large amounts of RAM as standard.

Do you have a test ip and a test download?

We do not have a test file available yet, however you may use 202.3.110.55 as a test IP address. We also have traceroutes from multiple ISPs here (http://www.darkstarx.net/network).

is irc allowed? how much cost 512MB additional RAM, 80GB HDD Drive? Additional IPs , cPanel licensed? DirectAdmin?

IRC is allowed.
512 MB RAM is available for a one-time fee of $100 AUD.
An 80 GB HD is included.
Due to APNIC restrictions, additional IP addresses cost $10 AUD (each) per month.
No control panel is included, however we are able to provide either control panel for an additional monthly fee.

Public IRC (clients/bots/&c.) and IRCds are allowed.
We use customised hardware and software to mitigate DDoS attacks.

I believe the rest of your questions have just been answered, no reason to repeat the answers.

Yes, upgrades such as those will be available for a one-time fee on our new servers (next week). The RAM will cost $200 AUD and 320 GB HDs around $160 AUD.

your total connectivity? mbit with each one?I think these questions remain unanswered, and as an Aussie I would be very interested to know these as well...

Oh, oops.

We currenty have 132 Mbit and will add additional links and bandwidth when required.

Also, do you guys offer colo hosting?

Thanks,

-nfsnobody


^^.



-nfsnobody

Is this your own DC or you're just doing colo on other facility?

Not that I know, but I believe they're running it themselves, as they say it's running on a dark fiber line :P


Edit: Maybe I'm imagining things... I could have sworn I read it was hosted on dark fiber the other day....


-nfsnobody

Co-location will be available this week.

The facility (and the infrastructure) is ours. We realised that would be the only way to offer the unique services and configurations we do.

We re-worded the site somewhat, by the way.

site url?


where exactlyis the facility?

Where are you located? Is there access to WAIX? If yes.. is WAIX traffic free?

http://www.darkstarx.net/

Servers are physically located at the Kings Centre in Perth, Western Australia.

Yes, we peer with WAIX, and WAIX traffic is free.

Co-location is also available, contact sales (http://www.darkstarx.net/contact) for details.
