Chicago VPS 2048MB Ram 2TB Bandwidth 50GB Diskspace $30 year

Quote from ChicagoVPS-Kevin : To clarify the situation with the avenues of support - while Chris and I occasionally frequent SlickDeals and answer any direct questions/concerns (to a certain extent to ensure we violate SD site rules), it is still an un-official channel for support, and if you have an urgent matter I recommend contacting us via our helpdesk [chicagovps.net] because we have technicians who actively monitor our ticketing system around the clock. Thanks for the interest, Kevin

I'm not sure if my sarcasm came through clearly

I've actually had a great experience with my VPS so far. I'm a linux sysadmin, so I come to the table already knowing how to use the system, but even so, support from ChicagoVPS has been above-and-beyond anything I'd expect for this tier of a VPS. I'm sure you've seen the banter (ref: previous 2 pages of comments) and that was where I was coming from with this sarcastic comment.

I'm also in technical support in my day job -- it is commendable that you would even consider offering support on a 3rd party forum that is completely unrelated to your product. Why anyone would consider this forum to be a valid avenue for timely technical support is, frankly, beyond me...

Your efforts here are appreciated though. Thanks for posting up the deal way-back-when!

No no - it came through loud and clear, I just wanted to make it clear for others reading

Glad to hear everything is working well for you, I appreciate the kind words.

Honestly your link is not useful one bit... Is it supposed to be negative?
One person asking for advice about a different provider is supposed to turn people away?
There are actually a couple intelligent responses in there that maybe you should read...and I'm talking about the positive ones.
