That 60 for collocation only, right? How are you amortizing the machine if that’s the case? What SLAs with the closet owner?

- GGO 3y agoyeap - 60 for collocation only. 99.9% uptime SLA (power/network). I've had 5-minute blips 3 times in last 12 months. The hardware itself is bought used $400 for the whole server (not including HDD). HDD was around $400 too. so last 2 years: (24 * 60 + 800)/24 = ~$94/month and going down every month
- jmaker 3y agoThat’s totally efficient, awesome, thanks for sharing.
- reactordev 3y agoYup, I did this (not for $60!!) almost a decade ago with 4 savemyserver HP 1U’s and a switch. Each server cost me about $200 without HDD. Another $200 in ECC memory. I used it for a long time until colocation costs went up because they were bought by L3Harris. I run a couple ryzen mini PCs on Verizon fios 1Gbps at home now for my hosting needs but I would jump at $60 colo in a heartbeat if I got even 100mb connection unmetered.
