One Swiftnode deal on vpsgems.com: dedicated servers in Ohio and Dallas from $49/month with always-on DDoS protection included on every plan — not a configurable add-on charged separately. For workloads where DDoS mitigation is a baseline requirement rather than an occasional need, this avoids the pricing layer most dedicated providers put between the base server cost and network-level protection. The two-location coverage shares the same entry price: Ohio provides tighter latency to the Northeast and Great Lakes without the Ashburn or NYC colocation premium, while Dallas covers central US and Gulf Coast reach. A single provider handling both placements at the same starting rate is uncommon at this tier. Full specs and order links are in the post 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.
