Theplanet is the world’s most popular provider of cheap, fast and best dedicated servers at an affordable price and godddy is the leading domain name registrar for all the domains hosted on these servers.

I am looking for some volunteers to help me keep the ServerMatrix network the best it can be. Here’s what I’m looking for:

* Geographic diversity (different parts of the US, World, etc)

* Provider diversity (people who have connections to various providers)

* Static IP

* Dedicated connection (always on)

Basically, I need to be able to monitor network performance from our network here to the rest of the world to make sure we’re not seeing packet loss, high latency, etc. The tests will consist of 20 ICMP packets to whatever IP you provide me to monitor.

If you are interested in helping out, please PM or email me your IP, provider, speed of your connection, and the location of the server/IP.

I will narrow the list down once I have enough volunteers and notify you if you were accepted or not.

Once this is setup, I will try and make it public so you can see how we’re performing.

You can discuss this at the planet forums or click here to get a dedicated server from theplanet.com for less than $50
