US East Coast (preferably NY) with BGP Session for AnyCast
Hi All,
Looking for an established provider with a good mix of connectivity for a small VM with the ability to bring up a BGP session for an AnyCast service my company provides.
Specs are modest:
RAM: 1-2GB
vCPU: 2
Storage: 25GB
Bandwidth: 250GB or more
Running Debian - looking for something hosted under Xen, KVM or VMWare.
We need to be able to establish a BGP session from within the VM with our ASN and prefixes.
We currently use vr.org which is great, but we have a secondary /24 that we'd like with a different provider for diversity.
Thanks!
Jon

Looked at these guys, but decided not to deal with hosting companies that don't list their prices. Hosting in 2015 isn't like aluminum siding, there's no reason for custom quoting in 99% of cases. Out of curiosity, if it's not confidential, how much are you paying them per month?
Smallest plan now costs like 50EUR, BGP is like 250$ setup.
50EUR per location? Or does it include several locations as part of the plan?
It was $500 setup when I asked, and PER location for $80 plans. These guys are the enterprise ones. Great network during testing, but they didn't fit near my BGP budget at all. Next.
This brought me to current homes : ARP Networks is great, https://arpnetworks.com/vps & I'm also using https://anynode.net/ myself (lovely blend) - ARP is West Cosat, so AnyNode is great.
Not so sure on Web2Objects, site is blank, doesn't do much of anything. Incorporated in Delaware, looks like a 'collector' to me. 100k IPs and not many answer... I've never heard of them and the non-working website is weird, much like old west movie scenes where the front falls over!
But pricey. If things go well, I'll be using https://crowncloud.net/kvm.php for my west coast, only $5/mo for 1GB RAM KVM. They show as out-of-stock now, but I snagged one earlier this week.
Web2Objects it's @Amfy's company, uaing them in FRA ans they are solid. His another brand DNS4.PRO is coowned by Uncle. Amfy is solid young lad with strong DC/network background
We use Crowncloud as our East Coast Provider for a small Bgp setup. Bgp support was free, connect to QUADRANET in LA. Plans and uptime are 100%. Current setup uses a VPS with Quagga.
How did you manage it? I submitted LOAs and got peering addresses, of which only the IPv4 session gets established, and I know I need multihop, but something is still missing apparently.
