I was looking to expand to AMS-IX and DE-CIX but sadly my provider told me they have paused offering services on AMS-IX and can only offer a 10G service on DE-CIX with dedicated cross connect (bit out of my price bracket).

I think my requirements are pretty simple...

  • I need dedicated 4 CPU cores, either a VM or a dedicated server
  • 25G disk space, preferably SSD
  • 8G RAM
  • 2 x IPv4 addresses and /64 IPv6 range with umetered 1G
  • Ability to upload my own ISO and install my own OS via VM webui or IPMI
  • Separate unmetered 1G ethernet interface for the IX, I don't mind if the IX is delivered over a VLAN on the interface; alternatively a VLAN on a single 10G interface which the IP's are on

As one can deduce, I am peering as close to the exchange as possible and tunneling traffic back to my network.

I'm currently paying £120.00 for the 1G LINX port (incl membership fee), £50 for a E3-1240 v5 dedicated server with a 240Gb SSD, 16G RAM and £1 for the extra IPv4 address.

Can anyone recommend providers that can assist me with a service like this?

I'm waiting on a few that were recommended to me on another forum for over a week now to get back to me, but so far it seems many advertise services that seem no longer available.
