Which East Coast VPSs do you use?
Hey,
I'm trying to find out good places to buy VPSs new NY or NJ.
I find out that their connectivity to Europe is superior.
The fastest US VPS that works well with Europe is Linode in their Newark data center.
ChicagoVPS & BuyVM's buffalo are pretty decent as well.
My only problem with Linode is their strict IP policy. I don't mind paying $20 for 512MB VPS as long as I can buy several IPs there. Otherwise, I'd prefer going on several LEBs.
Any recommendations?
Thanks.

BuyVM NY
RamNode Atlanta
Hostigation Charlotte
Edit:Sorry i was not aware that the NY and NJ perferred.
Why not get from Europe ?
BuyVM and Hostigation
@24khost and cloud3k ( @vdnet )'s NJ DC has great connectivity to Europe too.
We have SSD Cache OpenVZ in NY .
BuyVM.
I personally like the Choopa network. I believe SSDVM and GridVirt are there, but you could also go via constant.com.
If you need a test IP, use s3.gatsby.im
Um.. I only use these as US provider :
But I don't know the locations
For personal projects, I personally use BuyVM
Me too. Link between NJ Choopa and Europe is simply amazing. Around 20 - 30ms less than most other east coast providers I use. Greenyhosting test IP : 108.61.55.85
I am also impressed (but not recommended) by AlienVPS low latency cogent link IP : 199.167.198.10
Thanks everybody, great recommendations.
Because the US customers pay more. And load balancing is pain in the ass. So I figured out that hosting in NY would be the best decision for me.
BuyVM in NY all day long, although I've had a tiny custom plan with Hudson Valley Host that's always been a solid performer with decent latency.
BuyVM (Buffalo, NY --- beware this is on Colocrossing's network) *
Catalysthost (Lenoir, NC)
Crown Cloud (Lenoir, NC) *
Cloud3k - Choopa's network, New Jersey
24khost - Choopa's network, New Jersey
Ramnode - Atlanta, Georgia *
Others I use services in other locations or have them on list as a future provider.
All of those providers make regular offers and are active on this site.
What's wrong with that?
Colocrossing is hit or miss, love or hate.
Most folks probably already have or have considered other locations and have Colocrossing there. Tons of providers on the CC backed network.
Too many eggs in a basket. No redundancy or sanity when focused on one backend provider. Applies to people living on Cogent or HE nearly only networks also.
@pubcrawler @DannyAlex @ErawanArifNugroho
Thanks.
I didn't find IP's to ping from the following hosts:
Can you assist please?
Thanks.
Catalyst = @jarland
Test IP: 199.241.191.195
Test file: http://199.241.191.195/100mb.test
I tried using them once though and they were pretty bad. The owner randomly reboots my VPS because he likes to make me mad.
Hostigation
SecureDragon
RamNode
You drinking 'shine or what @Jarland ?

+1 for 24khost (Choopa) good network (NJ) connectivity to Europe
+1 for AlienVPS good network (NY) connectivity to Europe
(no comment on support or other aspects of anyone's service)
+1 for performance challenges dealing with European VPS and linking them to US ones via replication ... was super disappointed by some performance I saw to London and Germany by other providers; but pleasantly surprised by others in Netherlands.
Once there is a significant delay in the link, and if you are using GSLB, you can have updates that start in the US (for example) but don't show up for European users for minutes (or worse) HOURS. So Google/MSN/Yahoo might index content that "doesn't exist" for some users but does for others.
Also, (in my experience) the content spam from China, Korea, Germany, France, Eastern Europe goes up by a factor of a million lol once the VPS/site is sitting in Europe. (Even though that might be partially due to GSLB sending those users to those servers closer to them; it is still more than when they are being sent to a US server)
sure one momento!

Choopa is great.
Thanks for the mentions to several of you!
We have Illinois, Kansas, California, Atlanta, and Dallas. I don't live in the US so I don't know which one you would prefer. PM me if you're interested.
Kansas, Atlanta, and Dallas probably have the best connectivity to Europe.
We also allow up to 8 IPs without justification.
Thanks for the mention We also have Baltimore (but outta stock atm) which is again on the east coast
In addition to already mentioned CrownCloud and RamNode, SecureDragon and QuickPacket are both very good.
how about Corgi Tech (VMware). it is offering 50% off for 512m 1TB
it has NYC .
Thanks for the mention :P
+1 CrownCloud outta Baltimore, MD
+1 RamNode outta Atlanta, GA
It's a shame Crown Cloud is out of stock at the moment, my VPS has been nothing short of rock solid.
Here's pings to my VPS in Dusseldorf, Germany --
Crown Cloud
RamNode
YMMV
