ErrantWeb Expansions - Help us out!
Hey LET!
I was wondering where would you rather see ErrantWeb expand in?
[-] Metro-Detroit ( we are currently sold-out, however planning on opening for more sales soon )
[-] Kansas City
[-] Dallas/Houston Texas
[-] Other? Let us know in the comments!
Plans may change based on location and supply.
We will be using this thread to see what we should do next and how we can progress further.
Let us know of any location you would rather us expand to.
Comments
Dallas.
Chicago IL, Jacksonville FL, Miami FL. Dallas/Houston Texas would be nice
Toledo, Ohio
http://cisp.com/ - Within driving distance from where your at.
$0.50/IPv4 and the bandwidth looks very cost effective to what you are charging.
@dotvps So far I've only done colocation it is easier if it is US based. However I did say you can post other locations.
@derek Can you do a tracert ( traceroute ) and a ping to your VPS with us. Id love to know the current latency.

chicago or kc
A place where every other provider isn't.
personally yes, I would also +1 to staying and expanding in detroit.
I would do Detroit because there's really no other budget VPS provider out there in that location.
No other provider is in Toledo except for Cisp and they start at $75 USD for a VPS.
I'd be interested to see a LEB provider with servers in central or Eastern Canada (anywhere from Ontario to Nova Scotia, really). Then again, it seems pretty much everyone around here is pretty States- or UK-oriented and I'm not sure how you'd drive interest to such locations short of something like seedboxing.
I'm not terribly familiar with colo options; iWeb in Montreal used to have pretty cheap 1U and 2U plans but it seems they've discontinued that.
Dallas
New York
I think Detroit works well for everything east of the Rockies, including Canada. But then again the west coast doesn't ping well to anywhere but itself
+1 for Canada
@dotvps please admit it, your business is actually to "buy " vps
Cater to a specific location for one customer, only acquire one customer at an overall loss.
Go like the big boys: New York, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Phoenix, Denver, LA, Seattle.
well, @pdqso
regardless of where you are in central america, people will still be interested as long as your peering isn't crap.
@kbar
You mean Central US or Central America, like Mexico?
Canada, or some Nordic-Europe based VPS
This.
Oh and if it's Canada, Toronto would be nice.
sorry, central USA.
chicago, detroit, KC
So does Chicago sound good to everyone?
@ErrantWeb: I don't think so, there are already so much hosts there...
@amfy Well Metro-Detroit will always be our specialty location. I won't be closing down that location or anything. More stock should be open there tonight, and over the next few days.
Edit: More stock is available now.
@Amfy the same cities as "so many hosts" does not mean he has to use the same DC as everyone else. With hosting being so competitive, I'm sure a smaller DC would offer great service, just as great as large DCs, to have ErrantWeb sign up with them.
@ErrantWeb Atlanta is not as common as it used to be... Ramhost hardly carries stock but I can find some people out of 54 Marriot if I need Atlanta hosting.
I vote for Chicago
We are going in Chicago for sure.
We are at Latisys another SAS 70 compliant data-center.
Plans should be up late ( like 11PM-12AM est ) tonight or tomorrow.
I don't think they have any servers for rent directly from them, nor do I know anyone that sells any there publicly. I am renting the server & rack space from a friend in Chicago, it is a very high quality server. He's also the one that I got the server in Metro-Detroit from.
