Unmetered VPS near Portland or Seattle
I need a unmetered VPS either in Portland or Seattle with peering with AS174 minimum. I want a looking glass as well.
Apart from the unmetered requirement I also need 2 cores, 2GB of RAM and I need to be able to load custom ISOs or MikroTik CHR.
It also needs to be faster than a 1gbps.
v4 as well, v6 would be appreciated.
Thanked by 1oloke

Posted this almost 12 hours and no bites that is not a good sign.
Okay, minimum 20TB... and you can have peering with Cogent(AS174) and GSL (AS137409).... And I could be tempted with LA.
Unmetered and high bandwidth? OVH VPS. Unless you are willing to pay for a whole dedicated server.
How much actual usage of bandwidth do you require? What is the budget?
We have some great options but we don't allow custom ISO's at this time.
I'm not opposed to a dedi. I just know a dedi is going to triple the amount.
And OVH VPS haaaaaaa yea no, there's no custom ISO. And I'd have to pay $30 usd just to get multi gig.
Need RouterOS CHR. That is a hard requirement.
20TB is the minimum.
The only other solution I can think of is kyun.sh
They have Spokane, WA using Crunchbits and support custom ISO.
Other than that... hmm maybe @1gservers can help you.
It says it supports custom iso and connected at 100G. It's in Phoenix though.

It's always better to specify expected traffic usage. If you ask unmetered 10gbps, then providers can't know if you plan on using 2TB/mo or 200TB/mo, and for them it's usually a large difference. So I suspect that's why nobody advised before.
If you look at the other thread about VPS servers in Seattle, there are some options on LET, although i'm pretty sure no one would be able to match the >20TB @ >1gbps requirement. But always worth mentioning: @AlexBarakov @SpartanHost @ShockHosting @SmartHost @RIYAD @SolidVPS .
If you are open to other location in Washington State, you may consider hosts using Crunchbits network in Spokane, WA. But their upstreams are Arelion and GTT (no cogent
). Looking Glass: https://synteqhpc.com/looking-glass
Hosts using Crunchbits Spokane network:
If you consider Los Angeles, there is also:
Then, Leaseweb has 25TB traffic (counted outbounds only) @ 10Gbps. @HostWild and @HostDZire resell them in San Francisco and Los Angeles. However tbh, I have 0 experience with them so not sure how custom ISOs would work. Oh and they upstream to cogent.

Interestingly, they seem to have some presence in Seattle as well but pretty sure VPS servers are not available in that DC.
Entries marked with (virtfusion) support custom ISO. Virtfusion supports custom ISOs and also has pretty nice rescue environment.
btw, do you need custom ISO support to install MikroTik CHR? I've seen people installing it from rescue environment by just "flashing" the drive. And some even from a running system by overwriting the disk
I don’t have a crystal ball oloke. I’m not that powerful 😉.
I’ll have a look at all of the options but yes custom iso is pretty important if they don’t offer CHR. I haven’t looked into rolling my own images but that is something I should do.
The only reason why I really would prefer/want it in Seattle/PDX is because the two ISPs I’m homed in with(temp arrangement) both enter and exit in these two locations to NZ.
LA is an option but it’s a disaster if by some unfortunate chance that we need to go via SYD then SG to get to LA(AS26666 via AS64073 goes literally this way, very suboptimal)
Small edit:
Forgot to mention that my own location will have 2g symmetrical soon so another very good reason why we need multi gig. I’m gonna be moving a lot between me and everywhere else so this has to do it.
Maybe contact AlphaVPS and see if they can do a higher bandwidth deal on a VPS in Seattle. They have transit with Cogent based on their website. Seattle doesn't have that many great options for VPS in my opinion if you want higher bandwidth.
They're upstreaming to Datacamp/CDN77 in Seattle:
https://bgp.tools/prefix/45.59.101.0/24#connectivity
https://bgp.tools/prefix/2602:fc16:5::/48#connectivity
Even with alphavps it looks like they don’t have much compared to Los Angeles location.
Oh, I didn't check, so they are just sharing the upstreams transit providers then and might not have control over routing.
Fortunately there is an agreement with AS55850 for CDN77 so 147ms is what I get when MTRing a random v4 out of that prefix.
Same for AS64073 so AlphaVPS could actually work for me.
Maybe 2G unmetered dedi is your best option https://gthost.com/seattle-10gbps-dedicated-servers
Rather colo a RB5009 at that point.
I guess so, it's your call. Also why is everyone in Seattle all at the same datacenter, WowRack.
Tested ExtraVM.
LA via GSL is literally perfect. It's direct (cause GSL is bae) and it's only .7ms to my Pangolin VPS to Advin.
@MikeA You're very ideal now suddenly... What can ya do?
yea not many have GSL. GSL routing definitely better than Cogent.
I will be very blunt.
GSL from NZ to Tokyo is very sex.
GSL from NZ to LA is even more sex.
140ms from where I live to Tokyo is very based.
It's the same to LA as well.
I don't know, if you're looking for a good deal I doubt I can do it if you really need 20TB+ and only 2GB RAM. The locations I have GSL upstream on are locations I wouldn't give discounts for higher bandwidth use since a few people with those can end up costing a lot. The locations with those, traffic is counted inbound+outbound since I'm also billed for inbound+outbound, so 20TB won't be useable for you anyway since you're going to probably be using double that with both directions (ref. CHR).
If you have a price in mind I'll consider it but I can't guarantee anything.
Maybe try Forked Networking? They're based out of Portland and could probably work something out for you.
I see their cheapest dedicated server is $69/month with 100TB transfer. Not sure if it's on 1G or 10G.
$40 USD max.
Pricing.
Sounds like, logically speaking, it would make more sense to simply get said VM inside NZ rather than 140ms to the west coast
If only the front door of everything didn't have to connect to Canada and the majority of the users originated from the states and EU.
Honestly we should just move NZ tbf...
yea using rescue mode is the method for OVH since they don't allow custom iso on VPS.
Last time I checked... the VPS line up in the US specifically did not have rescue mode but in the docs it's there so I guess that's new.
For me to get 1.5gbps out of OVH I'd need to also have 8 cores and 24GB of RAM... My own x86 bare metal RouterOS sits at 1GB of RAM used out of the 32 I installed cause that was all I had... the F am I gonna use 24GBs of ram for? I'm not gonna be like pulling the entire routing table for v4 and v6.
Yeah I checked my vps and yeah there is rescue mode. With the extra resources idk put some docker containers on it.
@MaxTakeba time to rename the thread to
Need 1GB RAM VPS, 20TB@10G+, custom ISO, low ping to SYD @PNWTell us your age without telling us your age.
