I`m also looking for a Chicago based VPS (prefer semi-managed cPanel). Any other companies with a DC in Chicago?
$81.22/12 = $6.77 > $6.45
why?
Looks like some creative math done by the provider..
I`m also looking for a Chicago based VPS
Any test ip and test file ?
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.
How much swap available?
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. :-)
@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!
Here is a test IP you may use:
96.8.112.195
@Hosting Fan: we can manage the WHM portion of the account if you would like and keep it updated. its something would could work out.
@Innya: We use enterprise grade quality hardware. All named brand Super Micro and Intel hardware with Western Digital hard drives.
now “Out of Stock”…
@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
Can’t we pre-order? :-)
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.
Great! Tell me when you’ve done it, so I can preorder.
@dicarsio, our new box is up, if you want to order go ahead :)
but the promote code expired
@Chris Fabozzi: the promotion code has expired. can you give us another one?
@Remember, and @dicarsio, I have extended the coupon until the 12th of November. Hope to see you guys soon :)

Chris
