Need a VPS close to us-east-1
in Providers
We have a customer DB deployed on AWS RDS in us-east-1 region. We are developing an application that read and write on this DB. W are looking for a non-AWS VPS provider that has a data center in or extremely near Northern Virginia or another nearby US East Coast city to minimize latency and transfer delay. We need an 8c/16GB/120GB VPS

Comments
I wouldn't recommend this deployment as will face a noticable latency with DB even if they will be in the same city.
We have Charlotte, NC and NY - either of these will be a good fit. All AMD EPYC DDR5 machines: https://breezehost.io/vps - let me know if you have any questions. Happy to test latency if you give me an IP to check
We’re in Secaucus, NJ (NYC Metro)
KVM Standard S
AMD EPYC Milan (8 vCPU)
16GB DDR4 ECC Memory
128GB NVMe SSD

What do you recommend
Here you go https://globalping.io/?measurement=1EjDU6iFg9ToREWo&display=table&by=rtt-last
Check the ASNs of the probes for hosting provider ideas
Hetzner is not bad at 1.7ms and it's cheap
We would be about 6-7ms away in NYC:
8vcore
16gb ram
120gb storage
8tb on 10gb
$20/month or $120/year
If you want to dm me an ip you are looking for, I can get you a ping test, or you can use our probe on mtr.tools as well to check for yourself.
If you need ashburn, there are a couple of others you might want to look into: https://ifog.ch/en/vps/vps-ashburn
At PureVoltage.com we currently have 2 VPS deals going on, which fit your requirements.

Looking Glass: https://lg.nyc.purevoltage.com/
We look forward to working with you, and be sure to message if you have any questions!
@Clouvider has an Ashburn location which would be within a couple ms of AWS east. They have been a great provider for me.
@ManaChetah QuickPacket is in Ashburn. You can test latency here: https://lg.iad.quickpacket.com
If you're interested, please DM me and we can discuss specifics.
I tried the ping test to my us-east-1 ec2 instance from their Ashburn datacenter and ping was way above 12ms
Their US datacenter was giving around 9ms though which was strange
Ping was good from NJ area but everything was out of stock
Interesting. I'm pinging one of my Clouvider Ashburn servers from my office about 75 miles (as the crow flies) away and getting 4-8ms response times.
Using a tool like https://awsspeedtest.com/latency from my location to us-east-1, I'm getting about 18ms pings from my office.
Not sure how to interpret all this, but just noting it.
The looking glass ping tool was not working
Ping tool was not working. I used mtr and results were good. Can you check the ping tool
This is fixed.
Hey! If you are still exploring options, feel free to send me a DM. We can go over some options that best fit your requirements and budget.
Latency to US-EAST-1 will be high though as long as AWS US-EAST-1 is down.
not anymore you dont
Why is AWS not an option? EC2 or Lightsail seems like the right choice here.
I'm guessing they don't want AWS because they don't want to pay for AWS pricing.
Not sure if OP found what they are looking for or not but OVH has 2ms to AWS US-EAST-1
Any deployment option outside the AWS region will introduce higher latency with the database.
The ideal approach is to deploy an EC2 or Lightsail instance within the same region as the database.
There might be alternative solutions, but they would require application-level tuning and would likely increase costs — ultimately making the first option (deploying the instance alongside the database in AWS) the most efficient and cost-effective choice.
Hello,

Could do some deal, just send me your budget.
We already have 3 VPS server running on AWS. The cost is now getting out of hand.
Then it’s time to deploy entire stack outside AWS.
