[RndTbl] non-American hosting/colo/cloud facilities

[Shawn Wallbridge]

Not sure of the discussion, but I can guess it's general scope ;)

I have used iWeb for quite a while, and they are pretty good. Based in Montreal, they used to support FreeBSD, but alas stopped supporting it a few weeks ago.

If you check their Warehouse Clearance section, you can get a pretty good deal on a dedicated machine (mine is a dual-core AMD with 8GB of ram for $69/month).

They do not have any American facilities (except peering points).  They claim to be OS-agnostic – although they don’t mention OpenBSD specifically, they do mention both FreeBSD and SmartOS.  BSDCan2013 attendees got a one-month free trial of a dedicated server.  (Impressively-polished video about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e97g7_qSxA)
