A dedicated server with IPs in the UK and US on a budget?

    I've been using my home box for SHH tunneling when I'm accessing the internet when I'm not there but I don't like leaving it on all the time just for that, I also don't like when I've to leave it overnight to download and seed torrents.

    I'd too like to be able access BCC iPlayer and HULU with a UK and US IP. An Irish IP would be a plus.

    Overplay is of course a great service but it doesn't provide a dedicated server along the lines of OVH/Kimsufi's C-250G where I could set up my own private VPN etc which would better suit my needs. Although they do provide 2 French IP addresses and 2 of your choosing from any European country they operate in, they unfortunately can't help me access HULU in America.

    I could of course get both services but I'd rather it all from the one provider, can you recommend one?

    I doubt you will find a company that offers all of what your are looking for.

    A few companies might have offices & servers in the UK & US but if you want an IP Address in both countries I would imagine you would have to rent 2 real or virtual servers - one in each location.

    I use a virtual server from bytemark in the UK for a few things including Iplayer via squid proxy and they are grand although OVH/Kimsufi's seem to be offering a lot more for less money.... Thinking..

    We've provided IPs in multiple countries to clients in the past - it's all down to how the ranges are registered

    However, if it's for getting round country based IP restrictions it probably wouldn't work...
