Chris from ChicagoVPS has sent us in another one of his offers, becoming a little more ridiculous than the last! He has a “taste test” $3.50 first month then $7/Month after that. Again a free 25 slot Mohawk Voice Server however this time he is also including ChicagoVPS’s new VPS Monitoring Service free as well.
Buffalo, New York
|
Chicago, Illinois
|
ChicagoVPS has been around for a while now with it becoming not unusual for Chris to offer what seems like completely unviable plans, however this is now the 9th month since the first 2GB plan ChicagoVPS offered. ChicagoVPS recently completed their DNS manager so there’s no more needing to open tickets for these tasks, and secondly they have released their new Monitoring Service which is being included free for a limited time. It seems at the moment all monitoring is done out of Chicago, however Chris comments that they have boxes being setup and sent off to other locations for the service. If you do signup share some screenshots of their DNS Manager and Monitoring Service.

Do you offer free migration? I already setup a few cpanel vps from UK but still want to transfer out to US for best speed.
Also with cPanel, did you set 2nd quota level as default?
Hello,
Please open up a ticket about both your questions and we can get an answer for you
Regards,
Chris
Hi,
Sorry for multiple questions. How about upgrade cores? Can you provide price and maximum cores?
Hi Chris,
Already created support ticket #337148.
very happy with chicagoVPS. fast speeds, good IO, and no downtime
Hi,
I’m back after installing a few vps. ChicagoVPS has good price, however their network isn’t good as I think. Compare with my current vps, it shows on just-ping package lost around 80-100% (My VPS shows Okey for all connections).
where did you ping from?
I know what is my bad network. This is why I tested from just-ping dot com. 🙂
To my boxes, I get lost only with pinging from Beijing and Hong Kong, China using justping. Are these locations you meant?
chicagovps has good network connection to EC and EU, not to China.
Maybe I will ask for switching to another node.
Hello,
There should be no packet loss, I am seeing none at all from multiple locations
Hi,
Colocrossing had an outage about 40 mins ago 🙂
Jack his reply here was way before the attack
Oh was it an attack all I knew that everyone thought the world ended because LET/LEB was down.
Anyway sorry for bashing your sales.
I’ll leave now 🙂
Did you try ping a few ips on your vps’s plans from just-ping dot com?

Hello Jeremiah, rWHOIS can be changed for the 2/1 IPs that you give with NY/Chicago servers..?
How much CPU cores are provisioned with 2048MB Dedicated Ram on both locations?
I think this is 4 core 🙂 2.5Ghz per core. (Maybe, I don’t login into WHM).
Is this offer still on “2048MB Dedicated Ram
50GB Diskspace
2TB Bandwidth
100Mbps Port
1x IPv4 Address
SolusVM/OpenVZ
Free Uptime Monitoring
$7.00/Month”
And if so, is it just one month, or for ever as long as you pay ?
its recurring/montly 🙂
comparing Chicago and Buffalo test 🙂
Chicago test
Buffalo test
Sweet, I think I will buy one, and I got that I have to pay monthly, $7 a month for that type of VPS, Massive thumbs up 🙂
My vps with chicagoVPS in Buffalo, using Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270, is the fastest VPS I ever have.
Does Chicago VPS support Java? I would like to run a Tomcat server. Is Ubuntu 12.04 available for installation? At my current provider Virpus Networks it’s available but they are having technical issues so when you install it your VPS will not start. If the answer to both of these is yes I think I will switch.
Pardon me if i’m being rude but i’m quite sceptical, i’m hoping to setup a minecraft vps. How long have these guys been running, how are they so cheap?
Thank you 🙂
Matt,
We are the best in what we do, and have been around since 2009. We host hundreds of MC servers, so there should be no problem
Regards,
Chris
I picked up one of these and am ready to move, but I’m honestly a bit nervous. My forum is currently hosted at a reputable fully managed host (1GB RAM/100GB disk/cPanel for $50/month) where I’ve had 0 problems and lightning fast support. I don’t need their management services or the $50 price tag though. I do need solid uptime for my forum users. The $50/month price tag that I’m paying now is just getting to me. This is a much better deal and my VPS that I got to evaluate has been online for 11 days (since it was activated). Decisions, decisions. Just go for it and hope for the best?
Nothing on the earth is best,
I’ma user and the service is beginning to be slow
sadly I’ve started to notice the same thing. I have a 2G vps on buffalo node 3, and signed up for a 128 meg vps and it also got put on node 3.. so I can only assume there is a bunch more 128s landing on there.
My VPS was very fast the first two days, then, since a week ago, it has slowed down. Its now twice slower than it was.
Open up a ticket so we can take a look
Thanks,
Chris
I sent in three tickets but they always replied that’s OK. 🙂
bad thing is it’s intermittent as well.. sometimes I get 61.4 MB/s via the dd test, and other times 5 MB/s.
I could see on the 128, but the 2G one should be preforming a little bit better. If it keeps up I’ll open a ticket as well.
Hello,
Please open up a ticket as we would like to investigate this for you
Regards,
Chris
right now mine is fine, if it goes to the dumper again i’ll open a ticket.
First question: how long will the $7/month rate last? That seems like a fantastic price for those specs, but almost too good to be true.
Second question: would this VPS be appropriate for a not-too-big video blog site? We are currently sitting at 25 GB of files and ~300 GB monthly bandwidth usage, both well within the 50 GB / 2 TB limits. Just looking for an upgrade over our current shared hosting, and the ability to run a mod_h264 plugin for our videos.
Don’t mind my MYSQL, im still setting it up.

by the time I have bought 2, but if you already lentea
I have bought Buffalo, New York Package but here is the problem:
Speed is slow.
My VPS is offline for many hours now and that’s without any reason. I tried to reboot it many times through my VPS CP but it didn’t work. It takes more than 5 minutes to complete a command like boot, reboot etc…
My second day with this and 1 outage,2 hours till now. Too much for http server. Hope just can be a coincidence, many good words to them.
check this http://stats.pingdom.com/jzrszp4wfu79
not just you, all nodes in the buffalo have network disconnected.
Also just noticed my node is down. Nothing on their twitter about it though. Boots fail.
Can ping 75.127.15.1, but that is it (my node falls in that space).
Hello,
Our upstream has some issues, and the switch we were on was defective. There was nothing we could do but wait.
Thank you for your patience.
I MAY SAY… EXCELENT SUPPORT ! FAST RESPONCE..! SERVER SETUP IN SECONDS..
im very happy 🙂
Glad to hear you like it 🙂
Thumbs up for support. Good and fast answering.
I highly, highly, highly, (did I say highly) recommend Chicago VPS. Chris and the staff have been nothing short of helpful, and amazing. Great deal, great service, great guys.. Thanks again. I have 3 vps’s with them, and will get more.
is the 2048 deal still going on?
nvm guys i’ll go with the buffalo new york location 🙂
I sign up just two weeks ago, starting with a so inconvenient fiber blackout but after a 100% uptime, and planning stay for long long time. My users even glad too
Stuff in Buffalo, bottom line, very bad.
I asked Chris, Saturday, July 7th, 2012 (14:18), for the CPU information of their OVZ in Chicago, he said “They are E3 1270 CPU. Extremely fast. :).” I just ordered and got this one:
This box is twice slower than my unused box, of the same configurations, at BLUEVM.
I sent in a cancellation request already. Not know its refundable. Will update…
that is what you call sales talk.
yes, it is. unbelievable…
just sent in another cancellation request too. I’d rather wait for buyvm in NY.
outofstock.buyvm.com 🙂
mine in Chicagovps.net
CPU model : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz

and
I/O speed : 164 MB/s
this is the low standard today, still for medium web is very stable up to 300 users concurrent.
A Carrasco: is your box on Chicago VPS19?
Buffalo VPS4
mine in buffalo, buff4, is just fine, but the one in Chicago, node19, is too bad. That is why I asked Chris a couple weeks ago to make sure. he likely gave me the wrong information.
God I love people that are oblivious to the world 🙂 I did not lie. Every new build since Jan 2012 has been E3 1270 CPU’s. How can I control what node our auto install put you on? It saw that node had more room so it stuck you there. Stop spreading lies about us, as it is not needed. I just dont think you understand simple logic and would rather waste your time bad mouthing providers.
I even offered you to be put on a new box, which I DID. Wake up and realize your wrong.
– Chris
I did nothing wrong, but you the one put me on a node different to what you told me. In this case, you are absolutely a big liar. In addition, please check with Jeremiah Shinkle to learn how badly your VPS performed compared with my unused box at BLUEVM. Its no way to compare your products with other providers like URPAD or buyvm.
Wake up Chris!!!
In reply, I don;t care the shitty logic in your mind. Hopefully you take it yourself when treating the people who violate your TOS.
Tinyray,
You are delirious. Im done talking to you, put in a cancellation so we can part ways. I have thousands of very happy clients and one crazy Tinyray, I dont need it 🙂
how look your BLUEVM VPS? CPU? BurstRAM. need to add one more maybe in kansas
I have only one VPS with BLUEVM, in LA
Its not as stable as my other boxes with buyvm, SJ, but faster network speed.
Your cancel button have many work to do.
The only thing I can say is that its bad at every aspect.
Just want to say, other than the outage a couple weeks ago (not their fault), my VPS has been awesome. My websites are so much faster than before, and my forum users also see the speed increases.
Now I just need to figure out what to do with all the ram!
BTW:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6

He didn’t lie…..
From my Buffalo, New York VPS.
I just can’t get good download speed. I have tried on 3 different times. Is this normal?
BABAH was getting
2012-07-06 12:08:48 (35.0 MB/s) – `100mb.test’ saved [104857600/104857600]
I am only 1/3 of it.
I noticed that as well.
I am not to worried though. Technically, they are offering a 100mb port, so getting 3/4 of that shouldn’t be to bad.
I don’t host enough to notice that I am not getting 35MB/s. The response time of the server is more important to me right now.
Chris Check the Support Tickets, i have issue with 2nd level quotas since 3 days, its very simple to resolve.
TUN/TAP driver is unavailable. Just ordered one instance, unable to start openvpn even after I enabled TUN/TAP through control panel. Opened a ticket, still not answered …
Waiting for almost 4 days upon ordering my VPS at Chicagovps but until now still TUN/TAP issue did not resolve.
Hi Chris,
i’ve got 2 problems now. I just realised this awesome package but i am having a pending purchase with your Buffalo VPS. Can i cancel the Buffalo VPS purchase and go ahead with this offer?
The 2nd problem is, i found out that your system don’t accept my CC as i am from Malaysia. 🙁
Please kindly advice
– Beware using this hosting, my money get stolen from this hosting
– very-very slow support
– i request my money back but they not responded.
I have not had much issue with their support, every request I’ve submitted got answered quickly. I’ve done rDNS requests a few times, and got answers back within 5 minutes once, and an hour the next. (with low priority set on the tickets).
If your contacting sales/billing, they generally only work business hours.
Wow great,your staff close my ticket without the answer.
you can see at this picture : http://plikimage.com/images/811chicago_compliant.jpg
Thanks
We answered your question, this is an unmanaged service so it is up to you to configure WHM
Regards,
Chris
that’s weird, i buy with cpanel but i didn’t have my cpanel,,that is totally SCAM.
Shows you have cPanel to me, obviously you are not ready to manage your own services.
Nope, they haven’t replied me within 5mins.
@makaze: i’ve tried your method by sending same questions to “Billing” and “Support”.
But sadly, none replied. Strange thing is that they can merged it but not reply to me. How ironic.
if your request is sales/billing (guessing from your earlier post), then they would move them to billing/sales even if put in the support queue. That’s common practice with most providers.
It depends on what your ticket is. All tickets Are answered that I see
Sorry Chris,
my tickets are not answered yet. #831596
Neither is #700696
Hello,
Are you sure you have the right provider? Non of those ticket numbers are valid ticket numbers in our system.
ChicagoVPS and BuffaloVPS belong to same parent company?
Ok, i submitted ticket via my BuffaloVPS acct.
@Chris: are you able to help with that?
