=> Some time next year, I'll be moving from the US to the Philippines. It => is next-to-impossible to get static-IPv4 addresses, and IPv6-access for => residential service is (apparently) even less likely. => => So, I've got a couple of options. One would be to "lease" a fixed => address from a US-based company and set up a VPN-over-tunnel => (HideMyAss.com for example). => => It seems easier to just have someone host my domain's mail and web => services, and probably less expensive,too. But I really don't want to => have to use web-based application for Email; I would much prefer using => POP3 (via pkgsrc/fetchmail or similar) to pull mail, and send directly => (via postfix). => => I would also prefer NOT to retain my current DNS services, and not have => to transfer them the Email/Web hosting service. => => So, with all these requirements, does anyone have any suggestions or => recommendations?
For the do-it-yourself-er, maybe a Xen VPS on prgmr.com? You get lots of flexibility, but cost and maintenance are likely higher than a hosted services solution. I run a NetBSD 6.1 VPS there now, and they offer static IPv4 and IPv6, and I have an HE/tunnelbroker.net IPv6 tunnel (w/ipsec) from there to my home network. I think their stock NetBSD image is still 5.x, but it should be easy to boot up a 6.x or current DOMU install kernel and do a fresh install. Good luck... Gary Duzan
