Cambodia web hosting survey 2012

This is a survey of most popular web sites that are hosted in Cambodia. Traditionally many organizations have chosen to host their web sites overseas (mainly in the USA). Now that the internet prices have come down, some have chosen to use hosting services provided by Cambodian ISPs. This gives users in Cambodia faster response times when accessing these web sites compared to sites hosted in other countries.

These statistics are based on Alexa top 1 million global sites list as published on 2012‑10‑21. Note that the Alexa ranking is based on the web browsing habits of Alexa Toolbar users which represents only a small proportion of all internet users.

First, a list of the top sites hosted in Cambodia, sorted by their global Alexa ranking, which roughly reflects the global popularity of the web site: Continue reading “Cambodia web hosting survey 2012”

Beeline sucks

I decided to stop using my Beeline SIM card because it became more expensive to use it than to use Mobitel/Cellcard. Beeline does not send any notification by SMS about expiring balance. They take away all charged money immediately on the expiration date. This happened 3 times and that was enough.

I decided to stop using my secondary Beeline SIM card because it became more expensive to use it than to use Mobitel/Cellcard. Beeline does not send any notification by SMS about expiring balance. They take away all pre-charged money immediately on the expiration date with no warning. This happened 3 times and that was enough. Continue reading “Beeline sucks”

International call prefixes and prices of GSM mobile operators in Cambodia

The number prefix for making decently priced international phone calls in Cambodia is different for almost every GSM mobile phone network operator in Cambodia. This article lists the codes and includes links to prices of Beeline, Cellcard/Mobitel, Hello/TMIC, MetFone, MFone, qbMore, Smart Mobile and Star-Cell.

Cambodia has traditionally only two official gateways for international telephone calls:

  • 001: Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MPTC) / Telecom Cambodia (T.C.)
  • 007: Royal Telecam International (RTI), subsidiary of MobiTel, also known as TELE2

Calling through either of these gateways is very expensive (usually more than one dollar per minute).

Fortunately all GSM mobile phone network operators in Cambodia have introduced a cheaper alternative for making international calls. It is often based on voice-over-IP (VOIP) technology. See the table below for information about each operator: Continue reading “International call prefixes and prices of GSM mobile operators in Cambodia”

Up-stream ISPs of Cambodian Internet Service Providers, 2009-12

Report on up-stream peering relationships of all Cambodian internet service providers (ISPs) in December 2009.

Update (2011-12-04): Note that a friend has made an up-to-date version of the Cambodian peering graph. It is probably more interesting than this page (unless you want to know the historical situation). It is also fancier in some other ways. Have a look!

BTW, MekongNet sucks! They have copied this work verbatim without my permission nor credit and posted it at their useless “news” site. They have even removed my copyright from the overall peering graph. I think they are pretty pathetic. People like that stop me from wanting to update this site any more.

Ok, so the actual article begins here:

This time I decided to have a look at the peering relationships of various Cambodian internet service providers (ISPs). The data is based on several BGP routing table snapshots from various international sources during about a week in the middle of December 2009.
