Are there any datacenters located here in Chi-Town (AKA Chicago)? Links? How good is the company?

Hey,

There are/should be quite a few. The only one I know of is LayerOne but have a quick search on WHT for them. ;)

Chicago is very much a backbone POP location so I would guess there would be some big tier-1 providers with facilities there and some other colo's as well. :)

EDIT:

I forgot about Switch & Data. http://www.switchanddata.com/

Tilted <http://tilted.com> is located in Chicago. It's a wonderful, established host. It's a little pricy, but it's worth it. The hosting and the service are both incredible.
