Any dedicated servers in Memphis?

PrivacyInfinity

Memphis is the 25th biggest city in the US, but AFAIK the only DC in Memphis is Cloudflare. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they allow people to rent servers.

If there's not any datacenters selling dedis in Memphis, is there a reason why?

There's plenty of cities smaller than Memphis where you can grab a dedi at in the US, like:

Atlanta, GA
Kansas City, MO (Even though WSI is pretty terrible, still)
Miami, FL
Las Vegas, NV
St. Louis, MO
Newark, NJ
Buffalo, NY
Portland, OR
...and more

Good resource, thank you! I just thought that was colocation but it didn't dawn on me it could be for dedicated servers too.

I wish I could, but I don't have the connections, money, or time to start up my own DC. I don't know how to market it either.

So, you want something simply because it doesn't exist?

Your premise is flawed. You have to look at the metro area population, not just the immediate city limits.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_statistical_areas

Memphis - #42
Atlanta, GA - #9
Kansas City, MO - #30
Miami, FL - #7
Las Vegas, NV - #28
St. Louis, MO - #21
Newark, NJ - #1 (part of NYC)
Buffalo, NY - #50
Portland, OR - #25

So out of your list, only Buffalo is smaller.

I live in Memphis, I don't live on the moon.

Good point. I used information from this list.

I didn't know you actually live in Memphis. I'm really sorry about that.
