Hey @[email protected] @Philippines @pinoy @[email protected], so I've been thinking about starting my own #pubnix located physically here in the #Philippines rather than in other countries like Singapore and the EU (the latter of which would have a really high latency for #SSH). I wonder if any one of you know of any #VPS offerings that have datacenters here in my country (preferably in #Manila or near Southern Luzon but not too south)?
I ask specifically for the location to be in the Philippines not only because of the lower latency when working in SSH, but also because it just feels wrong to centralize all servers in countries like the EU, US, and Singapore... Who knows, maybe I might even start a fedi here like #UPSocial did at social.up.edu.ph!
I know of #LightNode but it has port 25 blocked (which kinda sucks, but I guess I could probably workaround it by asking some pubnix I know and help manage to setup a SMTP relay there to communicate to in another port but I have zero experience in here or any of this pubnix stuff really lol)... The pricing seems very tempting though. But I wonder if there are other options. My budget for the VPS is like 10 euros (or around 600 pesos) a month.
Thanks to anyone who will answer! :)
