What are some good dedicated hosting options in US-east? I've tried looking them up but the info is usually buried deep in the hoster's site where it's impossible to find.
OVH should have their east coast data centre open for customers in August. http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2012/04/30/europ... I am an alpha testing and their service is great. They are not just a data centre that leases bandwidth from others. They are an internet backbone with ownership in back haul fibre. They are big enough to add 290gbps to their network in days. http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showpost.php?p=42216&postcount=66
Most of the links are 10gbps so it is just a simple hardware upgrade to 40gbps or 100gbps.
Voxel is NYC Incero has Texas and NC locations.
Voxel is larger, great network, great reputation, good prices. Incero is smaller, insanely good prices, new, reliable and great CS so far.
