Reliable VDS providers in Chicago (in/near Aurora DC)?
Hi, looking to use this for trading purposes (i.e., Windows Server 2022 w/ remote desktop running both MT5 and Sierra Chart). I figure I need at least the following but welcome your suggestions:
8GB RAM (ECC preferred)
1 dedicated physical core (or 2 HW threads)
140GB NVME (ideally 1x NVME for OS plus 1x for above apps).
1 IPv4
100Mbps (port speed)
Optional - Ideally some backup/snapshot support if possible
Budget - ~$15USD/mo.
For context, currently running the following w/ @Clouvider in London, UK and it seems to be working well (not exactly like-for-like comparison though as not running Sierra Chart there (just Win2022 Server w/ multiple instances of MT4/MT5):
VPS.8
4 vCPU EPYC 7313
8GB RAM
160GB NVMe storage
10TB Premium Bandwidth on 10 Gbit/s Port
Thanks in advance!

We're in CoreSite (which is where most Chicago DCs backhaul to anyways) and can meet those specs. You would need to install with your own ISO and license though.
@kuroit @ManishPant have great service in Chicago (I have only been with them for 2 days but they are great 2 days)
@Clouvider is also present in Chicago @JackMeOff ☺️

^ with E5-2690v4 CPU, sure, we can match the spec and pricing.
We have 9950X in Chicago too, but that will be quite expensive.
10Gbps uplink with both of me.
Please DM me or @ManishPant to place the order.
Hey there, do you offer the same EPYC CPUs in Chicago? Any option for 2x NVMe instead of 1x?
The same CPU, but unfortunately can’t accommodate custom packages at the moment (or additional NVMe space on its own). This is something we hope to support in the future!
Can you please confirm latency to ds1.sierracharts.com for me (I checked your Looking Glass but don't see Chicago as an option)?..
Test-Chi:~# ping -c10 ds1.sierracharts.com

Superb username... Carry on lads.
Sorry, yeah, there's an issue. Can you please ping this instead? - ping.usa.beeksfinancialcloud.com
