- Aachen 2y agoI see terms for hosting and domain registration and managed databases, but not colocation. Do you know if they really not care if you actually use that connection to the stated allowance?
- 9cb14c1ec0 2y agohttps://microtronixdc.com/products/colocation https://microtronixdc.com/products/colocation Their big selling point is that they truly provide unmetered connections.
- jfreak53 2y agoYep, we do!! :)
- shlomo_z 2y agoBandwidth for these providers is super cheap. The main cost is power consumption.
- jfreak53 2y agoThis is true, power is our largest expense.
- mrbluecoat 2y agoTheir option to colocate a Raspberry Pi (or similar form factor) for $5/month is also interesting as a VPN exit node.
- diggan 2y agoBased on their broad "Acceptable Use Policy" (https://microtronixdc.com/acceptable-use-policy https://microtronixdc.com/acceptable-use-policy), I'd wager a guess they'll find a reason to shut that down.
- mrbluecoat 2y agoYeah, I also later noticed they charge $46/month for 4 amps whereas the Raspberry Pi 5 requires a 5V, 5A power supply to take full advantage of its processing capabilities and features.
- daemonologist 2y agoI assume the 4 amps they charge for are at 120 V (480 W), while the Pi only needs 25 W plus some rectifier inefficiency.
- jfreak53 2y agoIts based on wattage, 4A yes, but 4A multiplied by the voltage. So Pi 5 is 5A, but multiple that 5A times 24V dc and you get 120watts :) so yes, you can definitely colo a pi 5 my friend :D
- mrbluecoat 2y agoGood to know. You may want to remove amps from your order page (just leave watts) to avoid the confusion.
- jfreak53 2y agoWe have a few exit nodes already on the network.
- jfreak53 2y agoThanks for the shoutout!! :)
