I have been looking at the US game providers intently in the last few months and whilst a couple have made it to our waters, it is currently only Hypernia that have managed to infiltrate our market. With incredible Features, Pricing and performance, they have given our few Aussie competitors something to think about.
I can fully recommend Hypernia in a big way, there is nothing like this in Australia:
A 10 slot, 66tick Source (steam) server comes in at around A$33 a month with free 20 slot Teamspeak or Ventrillo server along with it. In line with US pricing with slots around A$2.40 to A$3.00 a month for most games.
I grabbed a HL2DM server which you can find the setup details here: OzSource :: Resurrection
Great latency and professional service, their dedicated Server packages offer great value also.
If anyone wants to share one of their dedicated servers for a gaming community let me know by contacting me here or on OzSource.

Exept they require anyone wanting Far cry 2 to buy a dedicated server, pfffft, and all other server companies at that two! so silly

Didn’t know that. It is probably too much of a resource hog like crysis to allow multiple instances of it on the one server. The current Australian dollar has lessened the value of Hypernia a fair bit – though they still stand as the cheapest in terms of performance and value.
