Just confirming that you are looking for hosts using Steadfast's Chicago network.

Have a look at VPS accounts from hostingsource.com and qhoster.com.
They can be helpful for you.
I don't think ether of these providers use Steadfast's network.
I am currently traveling in mostly remote areas until sometime in April 2024. Consequently DM's sent to me will go unanswered during this time.

BigScoots might still be using steadfast.
I say might" because this is something I asked many years ago to them. I believe they still use the same DC. Solid service.
Most of them (securedragon, frantech, hostinginside...) migrated from steadfast many years ago and the others (rapidxen, igxhost, beyondvps, chromobyte...) don't even exist anymore so you may have a hard time to find a VPS hosting provider with steadfast now.
So more or less useless response from me, but really interesting how once so popular budget vps hosting dc location completely gone from the low end vps map.
Also yep, pretty strange about people leaving Steadfast. I remember when they were basically the main low end upstream if you wanted something in Chicago.

Was a little bored so I checked around:
hostingsource is in QuadraNet NY, Cogent NJ, and Cyxtera NJ.
qhoster is with Constant (Choopa) in NJ.
Steadfast is in NJ as well, but they are in Iron Mountain.
Not sure about QN in regards to remote hands if they actually have anyone on site who are staff. I know for a fact a lot of companies in the NY/NJ area lack having any type of staff. Steadfast we almost worked out some deals with them in the past. However, after Karls passing I believe it's kind of gone down the way side.

Your best bet seems to be https://www.bigscoots.com (in case they are still hosted there), https://www.hostvenom.com/vps.php (in case they still sell those KVM servers - it show "Out of Stock" for me) and https://www.geekstorage.com/vps-hosting (who are still there, but not that cheap).

QN's staff are pretty incompetent, so them outsourcing in NJ might actually be a positive if true lol
