====== Virtual Private/Dedicated Server Hosting in Australia ======

This wiki is here to help documenting Virtual Private Server (VPS) or Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) hosting providers in Australia. To be listed here:

  * Servers must be in Australia
  * Companys do not necessarily need to be Australian
