I’m always interested in a cheap Colo somewhere. Anywhere in continental US is fine. I’ll ship my stuff in, fly there, and set it up and try to make it work without repeat trips. Anyone have any ideas?

One of the more crazy ones was that I just buy a home in Utah that’s rural ish to be cheap enough but also near fiber. Hard but there are some options.




Webhostingtalk, lowendbox, and lowendtalk should have some options for you.

Anywhere with a major internet exchange is likely to have lots of options. If you don't know where those are, you can just look for cities with Equinix locations. Equinix isn't cheap, but some will have a warehouse on the cheap side of town with fiber to Equinix and you can rent a cabinet from them.


Oh surprising. I thought that those sites were for VPS alone. Thank you.


They have everything. Shared hosting, tiny VPS, full sized VPS, managed/dedicated, colo, IP rental, etc.


Hurricane Electric has a deal - $600 a cabinet with power and 1gbps transit. Used to be $300…


Haha it’s funny I posted about that earlier in the day https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41630783

They even had a $400/halfcab option earlier this year. Pity I didn’t jump on it.


Look on eBay.
