Hmmm<div><br></div><div>Dedicated server leasing is cheap and easy to come by.</div><div><br></div><div>$30-$50 a month for 10mbit dedicated on an atom is pretty standard fare.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://askwebhosting.com">askwebhosting.com</a> comes to mind i think.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Colo places can vary greatly in prices... some are competitive to what's mentioned here, some are not...</div><div><br></div><div>The thing that people need to remember here --- although we're starting out with limited bandwidth .... is that the colo is local... and has an awesome support staff (assuming olug is awesome hehehe). �Being a local colo means that ya can easily setup a beefy 1u/2u and install it. �For something requiring high horsepower or storage needs but limited connectivity -- this is awesome.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Once the move to 100mbit is complete, then the possibilities having a higher bandwidth setup makes it quite a bit more interesting.</div><div><br></div><div>Again -- this is local, less hassle to have to fiddle with the machine if needed, etc etc etc etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheap dedi's have their purpose (typically for cheap bandwidth), but colo, especially local colo, has it's own purpose as well.</div><div><br></div><div>-Will</div><div><br></div>
