Any VPS providers in DC proper?

jamespeach

Most of the Washington DC based providers are actually in Ashburn VA. Are there any providers in DC proper? Seems like CoreSite and DataBank have datacenters there so its possible.

RIP DC Proper. May those that operate out of Ashburn perish in their ways.

I live in DC. There are very few datacenters here and more importantly very little interconnection. Unless you are getting a direct connection to it (a wave or L2 or something), putting your compute in DC will incur a several-ms latency penalty as all the traffic goes to NoVA anyway to be handed off between providers.

Most VPS providers in the area are in Ashburn or other cities in NoVA (Reston, Herndon, etc.) because that's where the infrastructure is.

I'm curious, why do you want DC specifically?

Yea Ashburn or Leaseweb's WDC which is in Manassas, VA are probably the closest you will get.

Mainly just looking to go with my already existing Ashburn server. I just want one in DC proper to have one in DC proper if possible.

Would be curious to see all of the other Virginia or NoVA locations outside of Ashburn. Reston and Herdon would be good as well.

tried to get a VPS with Leaseweb but they are very B2B centric which meant that getting one just for being an individual meant needing some sort of business verification. the whole experience was kinda nasty for a single user. wonder if there are Leaseweb resellers though

There are Leaseweb resellers like Redswitches that sell their dedicated servers.

I've been using OVH LE VPS in OVH Vint Hill, VA location and their network has been great.

I'm not sure what you mean here, but automatically grouping all providers that operate in Ashburn with whatever provider you had an issue with is not fair.

I think it's a reasonable request to ask you to elaborate, because if there's something you don't like about Ashburn, it's unlikely to be solved by going a mile or two down the road to one of the surrounding towns.

all my homies hate ashburn
