Chicago VPS Storage provider recommendations

[drmike]

Looking for a Chicago VPS with large storage.

Requirements, no CC.  100GB of storage or better.

I'll throw in Swiftway with their 500GB offer at $5 a month, conditionally, if it actually can be bought and works:

ServerAxis has some nice offerings.  Smallest is a 1TB storage plan with 4TB transfer.  ServerAxis says they are in downtown Chicago at Equinix Internet Exchange.

Talk to 24khost - they ran some really nice storage deals back in February (I know, ages ago in VPS time..) in ColoStore/South Bend.

Not quite Chicago, but still 'close enough'.

 

[drmike]

No doubt, Colostore in South Bend, Indiana is close enough to count as a Chicago VPS.

I can do this on one of my personal servers. PM Me for details.

 

[drmike]

Thanks NodeBytes,  for now is business related and a referral so have to stick to bona-fide businesses who will stick to terms, privacy, etc.

Shame that Karl Zimmerman over at Steadfast is parked on chicagovps.com.   Steadfast should utilize that domain for a ChicagoVPS offering. I do like their network.

5 dollars gets you just what you need at my site enjoy.

I dont think that's true..

Anyhow: Tried Backupsy? I dont know for sure if they have Chicago or not but worth a look.

Spam much?

No, but they are CC based.  They got out of offering at Continuum a few months back, sadly.

I'd recommend Serveraxis.

You've used ServerAxis?

Can't really comment on them anymore, but had a small 1GB VPS with them probably 2-3 years ago, and it was always very solid.  No downtime to speak of and no overloading issues or such.

Of course, things could have changed.

If you're still looking we have a Openvz node in Chicago, we can work something out, PM me your budget and other requirements.

If your company offers such in Chicago I along with other certainly would be interested in seeing price/offer.

Need for Chicago storage comes up pretty frequently.   

Storage I consider 250GB and above.  RAM isn't very important.  Bandwidth is a biggie.  Usually happy to see 4-1 ratio minimum of disk to bandwidth.

@drmike - Deviating from the main thread topic a tiny bit, what does this forum have against CC?

The forum is just some bits sitting on a couple of servers, it doesn't have anything against CC.

Wait you mean a group of 1s and 0s can't dislike certain companies?

Hm. Good point, not sure. But pretty sure the forum bits can't, otherwise whoever wrote the forum should be famous.
