Ok everybody… there’s been more and more talk about IPv6. As IPv4 addresses are a limited resource and the Internet may run out of the “normal” IPv4 address space by the end of 2011 - it’s becoming more and more important to be ready to provide IPv6 hosting.

Fast Hit just acquired a /32 IPv6 subnet from APNIC - that’s 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,336 unique IP addresses! First, we’ll be setting up IPv6 peering at WAIX, then also looking for a link to the outside world. We’ll be offering dedicated servers and VPS with IPv6 - stay tuned - it’ll be a very exciting development in the hosting industry.

Fast Hit is now trying out various games - game servers, currently working on Soldat. If you’re into games - please let us know - we looking for feedback and requests from the actual game players and clans.

We have servers in Sydney and in Perth.

We’re setting up a new account management system here that will come with a few long-awaited features, such as support for Ruby on Rails, Apache Tomcat, streaming media and more. And.. we’ll be able to provision hosting services (shared, VPS and dedicated) from Sydney as an option. Stay tuned - there is some exciting stuff on the way.

We have moved our offices to the city - Level 3, 80 Barrack St, Perth, WA 6000. We now have more room to accommodate for more support and technical staff, a server room and much more! Here are some pictures taken today - a rainy misty day in Perth.
