Hello,

I'm looking to host couple game servers (Team Fortress 2) for a small project in various locations throughout the NA and I was wondering what VPS providers would you recommend me to go with?

These are the locations:

Dallas, TX

Los Angeles, CA

Seattle, WA

Chicago, IL or NYC, NY

Specs:

2 - 4 CPU's

512 - 1024MB RAM

20 - 50GB HDD (SSD-Cached if possible)

300GB - 1TB B/W

Budget:

7 - $12 per location

Thanks!

    I was originally gonna go with VPSDime (Dallas and Los Angeles), Ramnode (Seattle), but I can't find any decent provider in Chicago.

    Seattle and Chi - LiquidHost

    Dallas and LA - CloudShards

    And you will be dealing with one provider and one team (Query Foundry) :)

    @george - Check out ByteShack (Buffalo). It meets your requirements and is just in your budget.

  • If you are looking for reliable Chicago provider then i will recommend daringhost.They are hosted in steadfast DC which is very premium DC.Also there support staff is very fast.Average response time 15 to 20 minuets sometimes even faster.They have LET offers just search and you will find.

  • I would recommend the following

    Los Angeles, CA - tacticalvps.net
    Seattle, WA - ramnode.com
    Chicago, IL or NYC, NY - vultr.com
    Dallas, TX - not sure, but vpsdime would be fine

    Would it be a silly idea to go with Vultr in every single location mentioned?

    I don't see why not. I haven't tried the other locations personally, but New York and Chicago have been great for me.

    Well, I'm asking because it would be much more easier for me to control everything instead of having 3 - 4 different providers. What's their network like?

    I was hosting TF2 servers with a vps with vultr for a while - they are pretty good; the chicago network was a bit iffy at times, but other than that they are fine.

    What other providers located in Chicago would you personally recommend?

    I had at least one short period of massive spiking on a Vultr LA game server. Wasn't used that much so could have missed more. Stopped using it. I was not real impressed with the latency of their Dallas or Chicago servers. Except for those really close to those cities the latency to many was higher than I have seen for some other hosts in these locations. Was no point in using them in addition to NJ. NJ is fine but I switched back to Linode after they announced their upgrades. Only location I am still using with Vultr is UK as I have been very happy with the latency there. Their Seattle location latency seemed decent too but I didn't have much use for Seattle. I have tried out a lot of NJ/NY and UK servers and can't really provide recommendations outside those areas. Linode Dallas was good but above your budget.

    It's worth noting that Vultr is owned by the same company and uses the same locations as the biggest game server provider around (GameServers.com). They should be a good choice for hosting a game server.

    Thanks for the info, but I'm in need of a server(s) with a little bit more "flexibility", which is exactly what Vultr offers me in this case. In the end it's somewhat cheaper too.

    Edit: I'm still open to new recommendations.

    I believe that was the point that he was making. That because they use the network of a quite popular GSP, that it must be good.

    I'm an idiot for reading that wrong, sorry @Dylan (thanks jeff). I should probably head to bed now.
