* Linux VPS (prefer KVM)
* SSD
* Data center in Chicago or near Chicago
* Pricing similar to Lindoe/DigitalOcean: $20/month for 2 cores and 2 GB RAM
Linode and DigitalOcean are great, but they don't offer locations in Chicago. The closest is Linode with DC in Dallas.
I've had good experience with SoftSysHosting.com with a Windows box, but they don't offer SSD.
Suggestions welcome.
I only use the browser (mobile and desktop). For desktop, I use https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-%20/oieefcckcbbgniifdhhialgkmghahjgl to make the styles sing.
Curious to know what others use.
