The Australian equivalent of Digital Ocean, Binary Lane[1] has "BYO ISO" support for FreeBSD VMs - it is not in the list of easy installs, but there is detailed documentation[2] in their support area on how to install it, and they host a local mirror of the FreeBSD install ISO.
Their features and prices are very competitive with Digital Ocean, which is a nice change for an Australian ISP.

- thejosh 12y agoApart from their prices went up $5/m for new servers are are currently sold out.
- thelibrarian 12y agoYes, I saw their price rise - they warned about this a few weeks ago in their newsletter, and they blamed this on supply constraints on IPv4 addresses. The price rise did not effect existing VPSs, and will not effect those who go IPv6 only, when they implement that option.
- thejosh 12y agoYeah, I'm hoping more VPS providers have the option like EC2 does for assigning IPs, because honestly if you have the need for multiple machines most of the time you need a private network over a public IP (database servers, etc). A few providers have started doing this, but more need to do this as it would cut down on the wasted ipv4 addresses that they have in "stock".
- locusm 12y agoHadnt heard of these guys before - pricing is very reasonable. Whats service/response to issues like?
- thelibrarian 12y agoI've not had any issues, so I have no first-hand experience, but they seem pretty active on forums such as Whirlpool. In doing my research there were good reports of them on various hosting forums too.
