Texas ISP VPS in Odessa: the new NetWest route

Blossom's ISP line now has a third route. Alongside Washington, DC on Verizon and Seattle on Astound/Wave, there is an ISP VPS in Odessa, Texas on NetWest. Each server is a complete KVM virtual machine with its own operating system, root access, SSD storage, and one dedicated NetWest ISP IPv4 address for as long as the service is active.

The Texas route exists for a simple reason: some workloads want an address announced by an ISP network, and some of them want it in the middle of the country rather than on either coast. Odessa sits in West Texas, and checkout lists the route as Central US so you can see the geography before you pay.

What you get on every Texas plan

Every Texas tier shares the same network and platform design:

• One dedicated NetWest ISP IPv4. The address is yours alone while the service runs. It is not a shared NAT exit and not a rotating proxy pool.
• A 1 Gbps port. The route is sold as 1 Gbps, the same way the Washington route is sold as gigabit.
• SSD-only storage. There is no separate HDD data tier on Texas; the disk listed on the plan is the SSD the server boots from.
• Linux only. Texas plans run Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 12, or Rocky Linux 9. Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop is also available from the S tier up. Windows is not offered on the Texas route at any size.
• A full server. You control the software stack: install packages, run services, keep a persistent environment, and rebuild the operating system from the dashboard.

Texas plans and prices

These are the launch prices for the Odessa route. Monthly transfer grows with each tier.

Two larger sizes are listed in checkout as out of stock: ISP-XL at $64 a month and ISP-XXL at $79 a month. They are shown so you can see where the ladder goes, but they cannot be ordered yet.

Longer terms cost less. Paying for 3 months saves 3%, 6 months saves 5%, and a full year saves 18% compared with paying monthly. The yearly column above already includes that 18%. Card payments renew automatically at the same term length; crypto payments are a one-time prepayment for the term you pick.

Priority compute for 3-month terms

Texas has one offer the other routes do not. Choose a term of 3 months or longer and your server is slotted for priority compute when it becomes available, with 3x speed. The offer is limited to the first 100 servers slotted, and checkout tells you how many slots are left before you pay. If you pick a 1-month term, checkout will ask whether you want to switch before you continue.

ISP IP is not the same as residential

The Texas product is an ISP VPS with a dedicated NetWest ISP IPv4. It is not sold as a residential connection, and the address is not a home broadband line. That distinction is worth keeping straight, because outside services make their own decisions. Public IP databases and destination sites look at the network that announces an address, its registration data, its history, and many signals that have nothing to do with the server at all.

What the route gives you is narrower and more useful: a real server, in Texas, with an address announced by an ISP network rather than a conventional cloud or hosting provider. For how that label differs from a proxy product, see ISP VPS vs. residential proxy.

When Texas is the right route

Pick Texas when the location and the network matter to the job:

1. You want an ISP-announced address in the central United States rather than on the East or West Coast.
2. Your workload runs happily on Linux.
3. SSD storage and the tier's monthly transfer fit the application.
4. You would benefit from the priority compute offer on a 3-month or longer term.

If you need Windows, look at the Washington or Seattle routes, where Windows is available on larger tiers. If you want the fastest host route in the line, Seattle's 10 Gbps symmetrical connection is the one to compare. Our comparison of all three US ISP routes lays the differences side by side.

Live stock for Texas, like every route, is shown in checkout. When a size is in stock, a new server is usually live within about a minute of payment; when it is not, the plan is marked out of stock. Configure a Texas server to see the current state.
