[olug] Co-Location: Just For Fun

[Jeremy Bettis]

You're crazy.  The cheapest I've ever seen co-location is in the range
of $250/month for 1U of rack space.  (Note that you probably need room
for a tower not a rack, so that's about 4-5U probably.)

I'd advise that you go with shared service.  (I have some to offer if
you respond privately).  If you absolutely must have a dedicated
machine, go with rackshack.net.  They are absolutely the cheapest, they
will rent you a dedicated server running Linux for $99/month. (Plus a
big fat setup fee unless you catch one of the $1 sales.)  But that is
not Omaha.
