Chicago Located Servers
I have have a client that wants a servers in chicago and I am determined to look for a good stable network with good caring support to purchase from -- I plan to use this dedicated server for game hosting.
I am looking for something with at least....
2GB RAM
80GB Hard Drive
1500GB Monthly Bandwidth
I would really like an P4 2.8HT but I just need something strong enough to run a few servers on their. My budget limit line is $135 a month. If you host servers in chicago, or know a good stable solid network you would recommend I'm all ears! Just contact me! PM ME or E-mail Frimon86 -@- Hotmail.com
Also what do you think about fasthost?

For a 'good stable network' you want something like Steadfast, not FDC or Sharktech.
You need quality bandwidth for gaming, not cogent.

FDC has a poor network as far as I am concerned, plus their out of my budget.

I would be interested as to why your customer wants the server in chicago... As far as I am concerned, it does not really matter since most dedicated server providers do not allow access to the datacenter to their customers.

I think you've mis read my thread.
My customer wants this location and I have been personally looking at chicago locations latley before he even asked and since hes making a nice order I want to go ahead and try it, right now I only offered cali and tx locations but some of his members are in new york and even ca and in tx they didnt get as good pings as they would on a chiacgo server so that is why -- keep in mind these are game servers and no he woulndt come into the datacenter to visit, just a closer location to him and his members for a better ping.
