Why Chicago

The low-latency crossroads of the American Midwest

Chicago sits at the intersection of the major fiber routes connecting the US East and West coasts, and it is also one of the world's most important financial data-center markets thanks to the CME. A VPS here reaches both New York and Dallas in 20–25 ms and Toronto in about 12 ms, giving you balanced coverage of the entire US and Canadian Midwest from one node.

Choose Chicago when your users are spread across the central United States, when you need fair latency to both coasts simultaneously, or when you interact with CME-connected trading infrastructure. It is also a practical origin for applications serving Canada alongside the US without paying East Coast peak-hour congestion.

Typical network latency from Chicago

Latency figures are indicative averages over public internet routes; actual values vary by carrier, route, and time of day.

FAQ

Common Questions

Why choose Chicago over New York for a US-wide audience?

+
New York favors the East Coast; Chicago sits in the middle. If your users are distributed nationwide, Chicago keeps worst-case latency to either coast around 50 ms instead of 65–70 ms.

Is Chicago suitable for CME futures trading bots?

+
Yes. Chicago is the home market of the CME, so latency from our Chicago VPS to CME-connected gateways is far lower than from any coastal location.

Can a Chicago VPS serve Canadian users well?

+
Absolutely — Toronto is roughly 12 ms away, so Canadian users in Ontario and Quebec get near-local performance from a Chicago node.

What forms of payment do you accept?

+
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal. For wire transfer, purchase orders, and ACH, please contact us.

When will my card be charged?

+
ProwHost billing cycles are monthly. On the first day of each month we invoice and automatically charge your primary payment method for the previous month's usage.

What happens when I exceed the traffic limit?

+
When you exceed the traffic limit, you will be billed at $0.29 per GB. We recommend not hosting applications with excessive networking to avoid unexpected charges.

Can I have a refund?

+
Virtual server services do not have a refund option.

Can I register Reverse DNS (rDNS)?

+
For rDNS registration, a floating IP must be defined. Contact our support team to get assistance with setup.
