Vanguard RacksKansas · operator-run hostingVanguard Racks is a Kansas hosting company run by two owners. Game servers, VPS, dedicated hardware, storage, and containers on hardware we name publicly, at prices printed on the page. No metered egress, no sales engineer, no year-long contract.
The workhorse behind our VPS and dedicated lines. Quoted against real availability — if a node is full, we tell you instead of overselling it.
Most hosts hide the org chart. Here it is in full — there are two of us, and you will deal with both.
Racks and configures the hardware, builds the virtualization environments, and owns every technical escalation. This is the team looking at it when a machine goes quiet at 2am.
Provisioning, hardware, network, and escalationsRuns onboarding, the support queue, and the commercial side of an account. Monitored around the clock, so there is never one person to wait on before something moves.
Onboarding, accounts, billing, and supportTen service lines, led by dedicated machines. We cut the hobby tiers that we could not support properly — what is left is sized honestly and quoted against real hardware.
No inflated stats or fake history. Just professional infrastructure, clear communication, and an operator who answers.
Firewalled networks, isolated tenants, encrypted off-site backups, and DDoS-aware routing baked into every service line — not sold back to you as an afterthought.
NVMe-backed storage, modern CPUs, and burstable networking. Start small, scale to a dedicated node, and only pay for what your workload actually needs.
Tickets go to a support team that watches the queue 24/7, and anything they cannot close escalates to an owner who can. Clear response targets and honest timelines on every ticket — no call-center script.
Game servers, VPS, dedicated hardware, storage, CDN, containers, domains, and email under one roof and one invoice — no juggling five vendors.
Standard plans deploy quickly and custom builds are quoted around real hardware availability, with the sizing spelled out before you commit.
Role-based portal, staged upgrade paths, and a public status page mean the relationship scales from a single hobby server to a full production stack.
We are a two-person shop in Kansas. For some workloads the hyperscalers are the right answer — here is the line, drawn by us.

|---|---|---|
| Who answers your ticket | 24/7 support team, owners on escalation | A rotating tier-1 queue |
| Egress / bandwidth billing | Included in the plan price | Metered per GB, billed after the fact |
| Price for 8 GB RAM / 4 vCPU | $28.00 flat | $62-$140 once egress lands |
| Hardware you can name | R740XD, listed publicly | Abstracted instance class |
| Global edge regions | Kansas, single region | Dozens worldwide |

Set up your client portal login. Founding-customer pricing is applied automatically to orders placed during launch.
Standard plans are deployed and handed off with connection details. Custom builds are confirmed against live hardware first.
Control services, read invoices, open tickets, and upgrade from one dashboard. Support and monitoring run in the background.
Help is framed as clear commercial tiers with real response targets instead of vague promises.
The things new customers actually ask before trusting a newer provider.
No, and we won't pretend to be. Vanguard Racks is a new, Kansas-built provider now onboarding its first founding customers. What you get in exchange for our size is a short path to someone who can actually make a decision, founding-customer pricing, and infrastructure run on the same professional tooling the large hosts use.
Tickets land with a support team that monitors the queue 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Anything they cannot resolve escalates straight to Infrastructure Operations for technical faults, or Client Operations for accounts and billing. There is no tier-1 script and no outsourced call centre, and you are never waiting for one person to wake up.
Orders placed during launch lock a reduced rate for the first year on that service. As we grow, your founding rate stays put while standard pricing adjusts around it.
Vanguard Racks is operated from Kansas, United States. Hardware sizing and exact placement are confirmed per order, and off-site backups are kept on separate storage for recovery.
Billing runs through Stripe with secure subscriptions, invoices, and a self-service customer portal. You can review invoices and manage payment methods from your client dashboard.
Yes. Open a quote or support request with your current host, stack, and rough size, and we'll plan the move with you before any DNS or data changes are made.
Most service lines have a custom tier, and if none fit, contact us. Databases, VPNs, dev sandboxes, and bespoke builds are all sized on request.
Be one of the first to run on Vanguard Racks. Founding customers lock a reduced first-year rate, get both owners' direct contact details, and help shape the roadmap as we grow.
