Broadband with static IP
Hello - we're moving to Singapore and I'm doing a bit of research ahead of arrival: can anyone recommend a broadband service that provides a Static IP Address (so I can host my own email server). I looked at the Starhub and Singtel websites but not very informative... Many thanks!

As far as i know Singtel Magix is the only service offering a static IP for home users

you could also use one of the services like " NO IP" or "DYNDNS" to achieve the same

good luck

Magix is definately a static IP ...correction it was when i last used it 2 years ago. It has to be as it's an ATM connection ( not standard ADSL)
Problem with Magix aside from the high monthly fee is it's time limited as well which can be expensive.
The two choices you have is to register and setup up your own dot comdot sg which can be quite cheap if you shop around or look into the DYNDNS service which supports email redirects too.
All Netgear and most LINKSYS modem routers have auto login function to DYNDNS so as long as your modem is on the service knows your IP.
Good luck

Broadband fixed IP for IP PBX (Phone)
Will whatever you suggest work for IP PBX too? A vendor recommends IP PBX for my small home office but require fixed IP. I have the normal home broadband so just wonder if I can work around the IP problem.
Re: Broadband with static IP
You might find it easier and cheaper to buy a virtual host or even a real server from someone like Hetzner or Bytemark (both companies I'm using at the moment - no affiliations beyond being a reasonably happy customer).londontosingapore wrote:Hello - we're moving to Singapore and I'm doing a bit of research ahead of arrival: can anyone recommend a broadband service that provides a Static IP Address (so I can host my own email server).

Of course that means connecting over the internet to a server in Europe for your email... and using Linux....
an alternative is to use dyndns (google) it allows for mapping of a domain name to a dynamic ip address, this allows you to have a server at home but without the need for a static ip address from your ISP, and its free.
Everybody already knows what it is, so there's not much point in saying it - Simpsons
http://www.dyndns.com/ works fine in Europe, never tried it out here.
