Ohio covers two deal tiers on vpsgems.com. Swiftnode LLC offers dedicated servers with always-on DDoS protection built into every plan — not a configurable add-on — from $49/month; the same deal also covers Dallas, making Swiftnode one of the few single-provider options for both Midwest and South-Central US coverage at the same entry price. SmartHost covers Ohio on the VPS side as part of their 25+ US city network. Ohio’s Midwest position gives it useful latency characteristics: tighter to New York, Virginia, and Chicago than a Dallas node, while avoiding the premium of a direct Ashburn or NYC colocation facility. For dedicated workloads where always-on DDoS is a baseline requirement and Midwest placement matters, Swiftnode is the only dedicated option tracked here. Full specs and order links are in the posts below.
Swiftnode LLC has operated its own colocation cabinets in Ohio and Dallas since 2014, with always-on DDoS mitigation — Corero NTD 1100 hardware in Ohio, carrier-blended GSL and Profuse Solutions in Dallas — included on every plan and no coupon required. Ohio pricing runs $49–79/mo with 50TB bandwidth; the i9-10900K config at $79/mo with 64GB DDR4 and NVMe is the headline.
