Received the below in an email from ChicagoVPS.net.
Currently have a server with them which works quite well. No down time, 900mbps+ up/down, doesn't seem at all laggish. Performs much better than what I expected considering the price point.
Edit: These servers (other than the dedicated server) are OpenVZ, I would not recommended them for any kind of professional use. They're great cheap servers for testing purposes.

Chicago VPS? Can't be serious…

Anyway I have a VPS with another company that's affiliated with ChicagoVPS / ColoCrossing / VelocityServers. 2GB RAM for ~$25/year and I hardly get any uptime due to the network being DDoS'ed all the time.

  I'm assuming you have a server also hosted by ColoCrossing? This doesn't directly mean it's anything to do with ChicagoVPS; they're entirely different companies.
  
  Yes, ChicagoVPS is hosted by ColoCrossing in certain locations, though how they as a company deal with customers abusing high uplink speeds, go about DDoS protection, etc may differ to other companies also hosted by Colo. Keep that in mind.
  I personally haven't had any down time in the year I've had my server with Chicago so far, the whole time it's sustained a connection speed of 850-1000mbps, both up and down. Doesn't seem over sold, resource intensive applications seem to still run fine without any kind of lagg. I may have simply got lucky and got on a good rack though, who knows.

  Do you mind sharing who is currently hosting ozbargin?
  
  Also, is there a wiki or forum article anywhere explaining ozbargin's technology stack?

I have also heard that they have been hacked 2 times in the last year so not sure what will happen to your data on the VPS. I guess you get what you pay for and I definitely won't be using them even if it is $25 for the year.

  There was a problem in their support ticket system, nothing to do with their servers themselves.
  There was a field which allowed customers to provide their root passwords in support tickets, their support ticket system was then leaked (presumably by a support worker) containing provided plain text root passwords. This was due to terrible management of the support department; there's no major security breaches or cases of servers being 'hacked' that I'm aware of.

I have one with them and the uptime is excellent. It's only used for testing stuff out but I wouldn't use it for production as you can tell they're oversold.

  Currently only use mine for testing as well, was quite happy with it. Mine doesn't seem to be oversold; nothing (even resource intensive) applications seem to have any problems on it. However I would still have to agree with this, due to the nature of the servers, I would still avoid using these servers for professional purposes.
  
  That been said, I think it's already a given to pay more than $1.33/mo for professional level hosting. As a more general rule, avoid OpenVZ all together for professional use; save it only for testing purposes.

I would not take the risk as it's on OPENVZ platform. Had a VZ host from other suppliers before and it's not really well performed.

Would go if it is KVM.

  Both are sadly OpenVZ.
