About Us★
Founded in 2019 by five hosting industry veterans.
ChicagoServers was founded in 2019 by industry experts bringing a combined 25 years of experience leading other hosting companies. The idea was simple: give customers the latest control panels that actually work, the latest hardware, and access to the best datacenters — including our Equinix CH1 facility right here in Chicago.
Other hosts neglect the basics customers demand. When you buy from us, you're buying from actual people — reach out and you'll get a real human in a timely fashion. Your tickets won't go unanswered like with the other guys.

Built To Grow★
Easy as click and configure.
We have many customers ranging from beginner admins to large communities! Our helpful team is here to guide you — we can help point you in the right direction when it comes to installing mods, changing settings, making the server private/password protected, and more.
Group payments
Simply share a link with your friends or clan and they can add money to your account just as if they were buying the service — and everyone can see how much was sent. No more sending PayPal payments into the dark unknown!
Upgrade, downgrade, or switch games — anytime
Change your server's configurable options, such as slots, whenever you want — and if you ever want to run a completely different game, switch anytime without having to place a brand new order. We've had many customers start out as small servers and grow into large communities — some you might have even heard of — and we've grown right along with them.
24/7 live support
Our customer service is available 24/7 to assist with any server hosting questions. Contact our Live Chat (bottom-right of the page) or submit a ticket if there's anything we can help with.
One-click factory reset
If things really go bad, install the server back to fresh factory settings with one click and get back up and running in seconds!

Moved a Rust server over for a performance boost and said the self-transfer was refreshingly easy, with staff jumping in to fix a couple of small mistakes along the way.

Had an ARK server online fast and said installing Steam Workshop mods straight from the panel couldn't have been simpler.
Jeremy
Trustpilot review
★★★★★
Was hunting for a 7 Days to Die host that would keep his whole group on equal ping and called it the easiest server setup he's seen, at the best value around.
Glenn
Trustpilot review
★★★★★
A self-described programmer said what stood out most was skipping the slot/CPU tier upsells that throttle you elsewhere unless you pay more.
