For reference, in the US at least, there was/is a company called Joes Data Center in KC who would colo a 1U for $30 or $40 a month. I'd used them for years before not needing it anymore, so not some fly by night company(despite the name).
At that rate, that would buy you nearly 1000 years of hosting.
- Aurornis 10mo agoI was trying to avoid naming exact prices because it becomes argument fodder, but locally I can get good quality colo for $50/month and excellent quality coloration with high bandwidth and good interconnects for under $100 for 1U I really don’t know where the commenter above was getting the idea that $400K wouldn’t last very long
- esseph 10mo agoAlaska. Dollars per Mbit + reliable power in colo.
- stackghost 10mo agoJoe's got bought out by Patmos. The jury's still out on whether or not this is a good thing.
- esseph 10mo agoLove finding other metro area folks on hn!
- stackghost 10mo agoI'm actually Canadian, not a metro area person, just a happy customer
- esseph 10mo agoAh, well, it's a great spot. I walked around when Joe was building it from the ground up. Power, HVAC, and racks of wire shelving initially. So glad it grew into what it is now!

- throwaway2037 10mo agoThose prices are rock bottom! For that price, what do you get for (a) power budget, (b) Internet connectivity, (c) ingress and egress per month? I Googled for that brand and got a few hits: - https://inflect.com/building/1325-tracy-avenue-kansas-city/joes-datacenter/datacenter/joes-datacenter - https://www.linkedin.com/company/joesdatacenter/ - https://www.facebook.com/joesdatacenter/ The homepage now redirects here: https://patmos.tech/ https://patmos.tech/ Another under appreciated point about that data center: It has excellent geographical location to cover North America.
