Hello Everyone!
Hope you are all having a good day today. Myself and Jeremiah have been battling back and fourth for quite some time now, on what new location we would like to open up next and cannot come to a mutual decision!
We have decided to post here and get the LEB community opinion. You can post here if you would like, and also have a Poll setup on out Facebook page ( where we will take the most consideration from ).
You can vote here: http://www.facebook.com/chicagovps
Thanks for all your support and help with this situation.
Regards,
Chris

Seattle or in that area. Not many Pacific North West locations for LEB.
Good Luck.
not sure why pacnw would be a good location.
Just united states /:
For the people who live in Western Canada and also in the PNW of the states? lots of people out here and we are stuck using locations that are pretty far away, Routing to mid-southern CA is not that great (50ms to San Jose) yet I can get 7ms to Seattle.
Voted.
I don't have Facebook, am i not allowed to vote on a new location?
West Coast or Europe or die!
What about Europe? Amsterdam would be a nice location
Something closer to Mexico!
seattle is only good for those in pnw, whereas chicago, ny are good for everyone in NA, and cali is good for asia, and miami is good for pretty much all of south america and western europe.
Asia!
LOL...you could just as easily say "NY is only good for those in the NE"
ny is just fine for central and all of eastern seaboard. for whatever reason, west coast is only good for west coast and asia.
Do you colocate? Somewhere in Europe excluding Germany, UK and Netherlands?
The east coast would be nice.

What about a place where no host is at yet.
Toledo, Ohio - Brilliant and beautiful place to open a host .
Local DataCenter is http://cisp.com/
+1
lol $200 for 1u dafuq
Singapore!!!
are there any other datacenters in toledo? that's probably why.
fy!
Ashburn or Reston VA or New York/New Jersey..
Poland?
If you managed to pull Asia, and offered good plans, I can see you selling out very quickly. France seems to have good cheap BW, and Germany can be nice too(Hetzner). I think international makes sense though since Chicago is best you gonna get in terms of US. Plus that'll appeal to users that want to offer services to international customers, google looks at servers locations now and that plays a factor in site rankings. Also for a realtime servers say an IRCD the ping time for an international user on a US server typically isn't very good because of the incredible distance. I know Freenode struggles with that sort of thing with their distribution.
just don't go with a very well known host like hetzner. it's too mainstream and people will not be interested in it.
Your gonna push that with every host until it happens lol.
They are still living in the 90's
How true http://cisp.com/products/cisp/virtual_servers/Default.aspx#productnav
VMware vps pricing
Base Server
Monthly Fee
(1) 2GHz CPU Core, 1GB Memory, 25GB Storage
$75.00
I was looking at their $75 per mbit on bandwidth, $75 for a VPS isn't really terrible even today if the service/support is there to stand behind it. I would imagine it is an old data center that doesn't need new business as they have lots of unused IP space and rotate blocks between a group of bulk mailers (spam friendly) like so many small colo's.
San Jose, of course! After all, you guys have to come put us in our place and all
So... no Buffalo?
