Dallas VPS Providers

Does anyone know of any good VPS providers in Dallas? I am looking for one preferably in the Low End market with good service. I don't need quick support, but I don't like having large amounts of downtime for unexplained reasons.

We are not be the best but we are decent :). Dallas, Texas, Internap. Resource and pricing can be customized :)

CatalystHost gets my vote any day, great stuff there.

Another host that's not mentioned is FlipHost although I've never tried them.

Are you local to Dallas? I did have stuff in Dallas but the coasts seem to have more demand.

I am in Plano which is a little north of Dallas. I also like the central location that it provides. Pretty good pings to all of the U.S..

I went ahead and signed up with FlipHost for the time being. They have the off-loaded SQL that I am going to give a chance. 

Thanks for all the recommendations.

Being happy a customer of their SSD VPS, I can suggest you Fliphost. I think their OpenVZ servers are in Dallas only. Check below link for an idea of their plans.

Well, can you explain the downtime yesterday? Your client area doesn't really give much information, and I am a little worried now having 35 minutes of downtime in the first 3 days with you.

We posted a quick annoucement yesterday though I know it doesn't give much information: http://sales.fliphost.net/announcements.php?id=16

The node spiked with an unusally high load very quickly. High enough that I couldn't run any commands or even get in to stop it them. I was forced to reboot the node via IPMI (immediate shutdown). The node then decided to not boot which was then fixed.

Once again I am sorry for the downtime, espically during your first few days with us. If you check your account I have credited you for a full month to show our commitment to providing quality service and to make sure it doesn't happen again.

@Fliphost Thanks for the credit. It was definitely not something that I was expecting. I am just asking because communication is important to me. I saw that you posted something on the client area, but your explanation here clears it up for me. 

Thanks. Do you have a public status page of any sort? Pingdom? I looked around, but I was not able to find it easily.

Yes we do: https://www.statuscake.com/public/4019/

I am hard at working on the next version of our site which will make that easier to find. The public reporting there uses statuscake's constant checking where it can detect the slightest few missed packets.

If you need anything more just let me know

@Fliphost

Thanks for the link. Is the SQL server on there somewhere? Thanks for all the openness as well. It is definitely giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling about your services.
