`didn't exist' or `sold out'? The availability may vary
FYI all I made an account at Vultr.com and installed OpenBSD (not Net*).
Anyway, it was a nice process. But the $2.50 and $3.50 VPS'es didn't seem to

Hi,
I confirm, vultr.com is an excellent provider to run NetBSD servers (a
custom ISO should be uploaded before the installation, yes).
They provide even a super-affordable "only IPV6 host" too, which is
capable to be a backup, for example.
And there are several other options for different
I use Vultr.com with custom iso support for NetBSD, with the $5/month
plan. Rock solid and have ipv4 and ipv6 working great (including
reverse DNS).
For mail, I self-host though there are many mail vendors that may fit
the bill. If you're looking for everything bundled you may be

I am trying to go IPv6-native. It's been very difficult so far.
The worst thing is when an ISP doesn't support IPv6. How does one work
around this?

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is MetaArray IV? I have been out of the
SDF loop for while.
In any case, I will log on to SDF tonight and find out. NetBSD is something
special. Debian is in pretty bad shape these days. I hope it recovers soon.
