US ISP VPS: Washington, DC, Seattle and Texas compared

An American ISP VPS is a virtual server in the United States whose public IPv4 address is announced by an internet service provider rather than a cloud or hosting company. Blossom now runs three of these routes, each on a different carrier in a different part of the country. They are not one interchangeable pool: the carrier, location, port, storage, and operating system options all differ, so it pays to choose deliberately.

The three routes at a glance

Prices and transfer figures are from the live catalog on October 20, 2026. Stock changes daily, and checkout always shows the current price, carrier, location, storage, and network for each plan before you pay. Use it rather than a blog post as your inventory feed.

Washington, DC on Verizon

The Washington route uses Verizon FiOS Business addresses and is sold as gigabit. Measured from the host, a single connection runs at about 940 Mbps down and 940 Mbps up, with latency to Ashburn under 4 ms. Any one connection tops out at 1 Gbps, which is plenty for most server and proxy-style workloads.

Washington is also the only route with a split storage design: a fast NVMe root disk plus a larger HDD data disk on every tier. That suits workloads that want bulk space alongside a quick boot drive. Windows is available from the S tier up. The route is in Washington, DC on the East Coast, not Washington State. Read the full Washington guide.

Seattle on Astound/Wave

Seattle uses Astound/Wave addresses announced from AS11404 and has the fastest network in the line: a 10 Gbps symmetrical host route. "Host route" is the honest qualification. It describes the connection available to the physical machine, shared by the servers on it, not a dedicated 10 Gbps reservation for each VPS.

Storage is SSD only, and Seattle has the lowest entry price in the ISP line, with an annual plan from $99 a year on the smallest tier. Windows is available from the S tier up. Read the full Seattle guide.

Odessa, Texas on NetWest

Texas is the newest route and the only one in the middle of the country. Servers in Odessa get a dedicated NetWest ISP IPv4, a 1 Gbps port, and SSD storage, and run Linux only: Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 12, or Rocky Linux 9. The ladder runs from ISP-XXS at $17 a month up to ISP-L at $48 a month, and an 18% discount applies when you pay yearly.

Texas also carries an offer the other routes do not: a 3-month or longer term slots the server for priority compute when it becomes available, with 3x speed, for the first 100 servers. Read the Texas launch guide.

Which route should you choose

Start with the two things that cannot be changed after you order, location and carrier, then check the rest.

1. Where should the server sit? East Coast workloads point to Washington, West Coast workloads to Seattle, and anything that wants the centre of the country to Texas.
2. Do you need Windows? If yes, choose Washington or Seattle on the S tier or larger. Texas is Linux only.
3. How much does raw throughput matter? Seattle's 10 Gbps host route has the most headroom. Washington and Texas are 1 Gbps routes, which covers most proxy, automation, and remote-desktop use.
4. What storage shape fits? Washington gives you NVMe plus a large HDD; Seattle and Texas give you SSD only.
5. How long will you keep it? All three routes discount longer terms, and Texas adds the priority compute offer from 3 months.

The same rules apply to all three

Every route provides a dedicated ISP IPv4 on a full KVM server, with root or administrator access and a persistent disk. None of them is sold as a residential connection, and none is a rotating proxy service. Outside services decide for themselves how to treat any address, using the announcing network, registration data, address history, and signals from your own software and accounts. An ISP address is useful context, not a guarantee.

What you can count on is the part we control: the carrier and location named in checkout, the plan resources listed, and a server that is yours to configure. Compare current ISP VPS plans or configure a server to see live stock on all three routes.
