Are hosting services much more expensive in the USA than in the EU? I pay 25 euro for a colocated 1U slot, 100MB/s guaranteed but always seen at top speed, 500GB total traffic/mo, and I can put in there what I want, as long as it doesn't require more than 60W of power.
So I bought myself a nice 'green' 1U server for 700 euro or something, and happily run nginx/cherrypy and apache/mysql/php on it.
The same provider I rent this from also offers VPSses, but I found them underpowered, cramped, and expensive. I guess it's worthwhile to stash your own hardware into a data center ;-)

- devicenull 15y agoWhile they may be more expensive, you can easily find a dedicated server for $100 that is going to be much better then a $100 VPS.
