Australia Dedicated Server Plans — Sydney

Four enterprise bare-metal builds shipped from our Tier-3 Sydney facility. Every plan rides a dedicated 1 Gbit/s port, comes with 10 TB of monthly traffic, anti-DDoS at the network edge, and a free IPMI-KVM console for life.

Sydney, NSW · IX Australia peering · USD pricing (AUD invoicing on request)
Pro-rata billing on every Australian plan. Your first invoice covers the days remaining in the current calendar month plus the next full month paid in advance — so every subsequent invoice lands cleanly on the 1st of the month at the standard monthly rate.

Every Australian plan includes: 10 TB / month on a dedicated 1 Gbit/s port · anti-DDoS at edge · IPMI-KVM out-of-band console · free OS reinstall · IPv6 /64 · self-service rDNS / PTR.

How the pro-rata math works: If you order the entry $169/mo plan on the 20th of a 30-day month, your first invoice covers the 10 days remaining in this month plus the next full month (30 days) — billed as $169 × (10 + 30) / 30 ≈ $225.33. From then on every invoice lands on the 1st of the month at the standard $169 rate. Cancel any time from your client area.

Why anchor your APAC stack in Sydney

Hosting decisions in Asia-Pacific come down to two questions: how close are you to your users, and how clean is the regulatory picture for your industry. Sydney scores well on both, and especially well for ANZ-facing workloads.

1
The densest peering exchange in the Southern Hemisphere

Sydney hosts IX Australia (the merged NSW-IX and VIC-IX fabric) plus Equinix Sydney's internet exchange. Between them they aggregate the overwhelming majority of Australian and New Zealand network presence — meaning your packets reach ANZ end-users in single-millisecond hops without traversing US carriers.

2
The submarine-cable landing point for Oceania

Indigo, Hawaiki, Southern Cross, Telstra Endeavour and INDIGO-West all land on Australia's east coast and backhaul into Sydney. If your workload talks to Auckland, Singapore, Tokyo or Los Angeles, Sydney is the most efficient single-region home for the APAC half of that conversation.

3
Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles

Hosting in Sydney keeps customer data inside Australian sovereignty under a long-established and predictable regime. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) is the supervisory authority, the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme applies, and APP-aligned hosting simplifies APRA CPS 234 and ACSC ISM conversations for regulated workloads.

4
A proper Southern-Hemisphere disaster-recovery site

For a stack already running in Europe or North America, Sydney sits on the opposite side of the planet — a different power grid, a different regulator, a different time zone. That is what genuine geographic redundancy looks like when you are designing for tail risk.

What you get with every Australian plan

The defaults built into every Sydney box, the operations tooling that makes them runnable, and the optional services available when your workload outgrows the basics.

The defaults

Resilience, network protection, and modern silicon — included on every Sydney plan.

Tier-3 Sydney site

Concurrently-maintainable facility design with N+1 power and cooling, biometric access control, and generator backup tested under live load monthly. We publish the underlying carrier-neutral site name during onboarding under NDA.

APAC-tuned anti-DDoS

Edge scrubbing capable of absorbing volumetric and protocol-layer floods, with detection tuned to typical Australia / New Zealand traffic patterns. Always-on, included in the base plan, with a human escalation path for sustained Layer-7 events.

Modern, refreshed silicon

Intel Xeon E-series for high single-thread workloads and dual-socket AMD EPYC Rome for thread-hungry compute. Storage is enterprise SSD by default, with NVMe and large-capacity SAS HDD available on the quad-EPYC tier.

Running it day-to-day

The operational primitives — image management, console access, and deployment speed.

OS library + custom ISOs

One-click installs for Debian, Ubuntu LTS, AlmaLinux, Rocky, CentOS Stream, FreeBSD and Windows Server 2019 / 2022. Custom ISOs upload to the panel and stay attached to your account for unlimited future reinstalls.

HTML5 IPMI-KVM console

Browser-native KVM-over-IP at the BMC level — no Java applet, no Flash. Mount rescue ISOs, watch the BIOS POST, capture serial console output and remote-power the chassis without ever opening a ticket.

Same-business-day deploy

In-stock Sydney SKUs go from "Pay" to "Console" in 4–8 hours during AEST business hours. Custom RAID or non-standard hardware extends that to 1–3 business days — we always confirm a delivery window in writing before charging the card.

What you can layer on top

Optional services available à la carte. Skip them on day one, add them when the workload demands them.

IPv4 blocks & user-controlled rDNS

Order additional IPv4 in /29, /28, /27 or larger blocks with brief APNIC justification. Manage your own reverse DNS records in the client area, no support tickets. Every Australian server also ships with a free IPv6 /64.

Managed engineering hours

Need a senior engineer to harden, monitor, migrate or fight a fire with you? Buy time in 30-minute increments and have someone competent at the console — no retainer, no monthly commit, no upselling.

Hardware RAID at build-out

Choose RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 or 10 on supported chassis at order time and we will wire the controller before the OS goes on. Battery-backed write cache is available for write-heavy database and storage workloads.

Dedicated, VPS or shared RDP — what fits your APAC workload?

A quick side-by-side. If you are not sure whether you have outgrown a VPS, this is the place to start.

Shared RDP VPS Dedicated Server
Self-service reboot
RAM model Shared (burstable) Allocated Physical, single-tenant

Workloads that belong on a Sydney box

The customer profiles where Australian bare metal genuinely beats the alternatives — Singapore, AWS Sydney, or just leaving everything in the US.

ANZ-region game servers

Minecraft, Rust, CS2, ARK, FiveM, Valheim — Australia and New Zealand gamers are notoriously poorly served by US-only origins. A Sydney box pulls latency under 40 ms across all major ANZ population centres.

Trans-Tasman SaaS

A single Sydney origin serves Australia and New Zealand users at native-region latency. Skip the second region; serve a 30-million-person market off one box until your traffic genuinely justifies a split.

Regulated & sovereign workloads

APRA-regulated fintech, ACSC ISM-aligned applications, healthcare data under MyHealth, and customer-data stores subject to the Privacy Act all benefit from physical single-tenant infrastructure inside Australian borders.

Southern-Hemisphere DR site

For an EU- or US-primary stack, Sydney is genuine geographic redundancy — opposite hemisphere, different power grid, different regulator. Run a warm replica or backup target here and sleep through region-wide outages.

Cost-out from AWS Sydney

Predictable monthly bare-metal pricing replaces hourly EC2 + EBS billing for steady-state workloads. Common saving on a roughly equivalent c6i.4xlarge-equivalent footprint is 40–60% once data egress is factored in.

Crypto / Web3 infrastructure

Validators, RPC nodes, indexers and mempool services for Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos and others. Sydney offers a stable APAC jurisdiction with no transit fees, predictable latency to Asian exchanges, and bare-metal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we field most often about our Australian plans — covering the data centre, billing model, bandwidth policy, latency expectations and provisioning.

Our Australian servers live in a Tier-3 carrier-neutral facility in Sydney, NSW. The site is multi-homed across Australia's major carriers and cross-connects directly into IX Australia (Sydney peering fabric), which is the densest peering exchange in the Southern Hemisphere.

Every Australian plan uses WHMCS-style pro-rata billing on the first cycle. Your opening invoice covers the days remaining in the current calendar month plus one full month paid in advance — calculated as (monthly rate) × (remaining days + 30) ÷ 30. This aligns every future invoice to the 1st of the month at the standard monthly rate. Worked example: order the $169/mo plan on the 20th of a 30-day month → first invoice ≈ $169 × (10 + 30) ÷ 30 ≈ $225.33. There is no setup fee, no prepayment penalty, and you can cancel from the client area at any time.

Sydney wins three workloads outright: anything aimed at the ANZ market (sub-30 ms across all major Australian capitals plus Auckland), regulated AU workloads that need Australian data sovereignty, and global stacks that need a Southern-Hemisphere DR site. For a pan-Asia origin or a Greater China audience, Singapore or Hong Kong are usually a better fit — we can mix and match.

Yes. Data on our Sydney servers is processed and stored inside Australia, falling under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) is the supervisory authority, and the facility participates in the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. We will sign a Data Processing Addendum on request.

Indicative one-way figures from our Sydney edge: ~38 ms to Auckland, ~95 ms to Singapore, ~110 ms to Tokyo, ~135 ms to Hong Kong, ~140 ms to Los Angeles via the Southern Cross / Hawaiki subsea systems. Round-trip times double those numbers. Carrier paths are diverse and load-balanced — published numbers are stable hour-to-hour.

10 TB of combined inbound and outbound traffic per calendar month, delivered over a dedicated 1 Gbit/s port. Bandwidth resets on the first of each month. APAC bandwidth is genuinely more expensive than EU/US bandwidth — 10 TB is a deliberate balance between price and headroom for the typical SaaS or game-server workload.

Two paths, your choice up front: (a) the port auto-throttles to 100 Mbps for the rest of the month with no surprise invoices, or (b) you pre-authorise per-TB overage at a published flat rate. We will never silently bill you for overage — the policy is set at order time and visible in your client area.

Yes. Always-on volumetric and protocol-layer mitigation is included at the network edge of every Australian plan. Mitigation policies are tuned for typical ANZ traffic shapes, with manual escalation paths for sustained or targeted attacks against your IP space.

In-stock Australian SKUs are usually racked, imaged and delivered the same Sydney business day — most customers see credentials within 4–8 hours of payment confirmation. Custom RAID, atypical OS images or non-stock hardware push that to 1–3 business days.

Stock images: Debian, Ubuntu LTS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS Stream, FreeBSD, Windows Server 2019 and 2022 (BYOL or SPLA). Custom ISOs can be mounted to the IPMI-KVM console at no charge — bring your own hardened gold image and we will install it for you.

Plans are unmanaged by default — you own the OS, the patching cycle and the applications. The hardware, the network path and the basic OS reinstall are covered under standard support at no charge. For full management, attach Managed Engineering Hours from the client area in 30-minute blocks.

Visa / Mastercard / American Express, PayPal, Skrill, Perfect Money, Paytm (for India), bank wire, and 50+ cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT (TRC20 / ERC20), Litecoin, Monero and Solana. Quoted prices are USD; we can issue AUD-denominated invoices on request.
