As a sort of follow-on to another thing I'm going to be doing shortly, I
think I am going to move my 1U server into some portion of a leased
rackspace. Probably 1/2 rack to start, along with a glob of bandwidth.
Someone else is already bringing over a couple of servers, but that will
leave about 14 or 15U of space still.
The colo site is in Marlboro, MA. I am getting a relatively good deal on
the setup, with the understanding that I am a low-maintenance account. So,
if anyone is still interested in colo'ing their own 1U or 2U server, we
should talk. I am not sure of the pricing yet, I don't need to make money
on this, but I can't afford to be Welfare Colo. The basic premise would be
that you bring and install and maintain your own box. Once the box is in
place, you would be able to get physical access to it, but I wouldn't want
to have a constant procession of people coming and going, doing constant
hardware upgrades, etc. Remember "low-maintenance".
Sorry if that sounds a little restricting, but I figure it's better to be
clear upfront.
As part of this setup you would get:
Rackspace
Power
Remote power-switch access for reboots
*minimal* amount of hot-hands work if needed
Bandwidth (we'll say unlimited for now, but this setup is NOT for
mega-torrent hosting, pr0n serving, etc. You CAN run a commercial site
though).
Primary DNS server access
If anyone is interested please let me know...
Thanks,
Brian.
