If you are looking for KVM VPS hosting in Chicago with NVMe storage, Turbo Cloud Host runs Linux virtual servers directly out of our Chicago, USA data center — starting at $14.50/month with 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB of disk space, full root access and a free dedicated IP. No sales call, no annual lock-in to get the headline price.

Every plan is KVM — real hardware virtualisation with guaranteed CPU and RAM allocations, not oversold containers. You get root, so you install what you want.

KVM 4 is the entry point and the plan most people move onto when a shared account starts throttling. Two dedicated cores and 4 GB of guaranteed memory handle a busy WordPress install, a staging environment, or a small Node.js application without contention from neighbours.

KVM 8 doubles cores and memory to 4 / 8192 MB with 160 GB NVMe. This is the sweet spot for a multi-site setup, a database that no longer fits comfortably in cache, or a store running its own Redis and queue workers.

One dedicated IP is allocated free of charge as soon as you enrol and pick your OS. Extra IPs can be ordered from the Control Panel at low cost. A dedicated IP means your mail reputation and SSL are yours alone — not shared with whoever else happens to be on the box.

You manage the server through SolusVM — reboot, reinstall, and read detailed resource consumption data yourself, at 3am, without opening a ticket. Alongside it we set up our own point-and-click hosting Control Panel free of charge, with a drag-and-drop File Manager, database manager, e-mail account manager, a 1-click applications installer, and Varnish and Memcached website accelerators.

Choose Ubuntu, Debian or CentOS at signup and our administrators install it, configure the server, and set up SolusVM and the Control Panel at zero cost before handing over root. Note that we are Linux-only — if you specifically need a Windows VPS, we are not the right host for you.

Offsite backup copies of your files are taken weekly and stored away from the production node, so a hardware fault is an inconvenience rather than an extinction event.

Chicago is the interconnection capital of the American interior. The Lakeside Technology Center at 350 East Cermak is the largest carrier hotel in the Midwest at 1.13 million square feet, with roughly 98 carriers on-net (Colomap), and the wider market spans downtown carrier hotels plus suburban campuses in Elk Grove Village and Northlake (Percepture).

That density is why a Chicago node beats a coastal one for national audiences. Typical round-trip times from Chicago run 20–28 ms to New York and Washington DC, 30–40 ms to Dallas, and 50–65 ms to Los Angeles and Seattle (HostAccent latency benchmarks) — no coast is ever far away. Chicago also sits in a geographically stable region without earthquake or tornado exposure, and our facility carries full redundancy across power, connectivity and safety systems, several telecommunications providers on site, and a custom internal network on Juniper routers and switches, backed by a 99.9% network uptime guarantee.

Install WordPress in one click from the applications installer, then keep it fast with Varnish and Memcached on top of NVMe storage. NVMe drives deliver much higher read and write throughput than the standard HDDs most budget hosts still ship, which is what your admin dashboard and cart pages actually feel.

The signal to move is consistent: CPU limit warnings, slow admin, or a plugin stack that no longer fits. Because our custom Control Panel is the same interface across cloud hosting and VPS plans, moving up does not mean relearning your hosting. We also handle website transfers.

Every Linux VPS ships with billing software and a domain reseller account free of charge, plus up to five fully operational client subaccounts. That is a resale business on day one rather than a licence invoice. One limit to be clear about: we cannot provide payment or client support assistance to your customers on reseller accounts, even with a server management bundle.

Support engineers are available 24x7, every day including holidays, with a guaranteed response in under 60 minutes. Our average ticket response time is 20 minutes. Server administration bundles are available if you would rather not manage the box yourself.

Pick a plan, choose Ubuntu, Debian or CentOS, and our administrators will configure the server, install your OS, set up SolusVM and the Control Panel, and allocate your free dedicated IP — at no extra cost.
