  1. I`m also looking for a Chicago based VPS (prefer semi-managed cPanel). Any other companies with a DC in Chicago?

    DuPont Fabros Datacenter is pretty good one. I don’t know what kind of hardware grade the provider is using?
    The data center is in near by Chicago international airport and pretty solid data center. Rackspace uses that data center.

  7. What version of XEN they’re running? If 3.3+, I’m pretty sure they’re overcommiting RAM..

    • I think it would be silly for low end Xen/XenServer providers NOT to overcommit their memory as after all, most servers are under utilized.

      However overcommitting under Xen is very different from overcommitting under OpenVZ.

      • I agree, but overcommit with moderation, and not allocating resources they will not have spare. :-)

        October 30, 2010 @ 3:18 pm
      • @dicarsio, We are not overcommiting RAM, what you buy is allocated to you and just you. Just wanted to clear that up :) We believe in quality!

  9. now “Out of Stock”…

    November 1, 2010 @ 2:11 am
  10. @Lei

    We are currently out of stock because we are not going to push our machine to hold more than it is allocated for. We are working on getting several other physical machines up to hold the demand that we currently have for our services.

    Myself and Chris do apologize for this, but we do hope to have at least one machine up tomorrow and more coming online quicker than this one.

    Thanks,

    Jeremiah

      November 1, 2010 @ 11:28 pm
      • Dicarsio, we can take pre-orders, that is a great idea. I will see what we can get up on or order page to allow people to pre-order.

        November 2, 2010 @ 7:13 pm
        • Great! Tell me when you’ve done it, so I can preorder.

          November 3, 2010 @ 11:42 am
