[SlugBug] colo and 1U server recommendations?

[Gary Stimson]

Hi Daniel

Supermicro servers are good also.

If you'd rather someone else worried about the hardware, then a dedicated 
server may be better than colo for you. We get our dedicateds through 
www.gyron.net who also do colo. Alternatively there are many very cheap 
dedicated servers in USA for around $50 pcm - check the offers forums on 
www.webhostingtalk.com

Some of the cheapest London colo is from 49pence.co.uk

For colo in Sheffield, you can put a rack or desktop box at 
http://www.wiredworkplace.net
They don't have redundant power, so you'd need a UPS also. I don't know if 
they can provide out-of-hours access to your server.

If you're wanting to run a games server then wiredworkplace and USA would 
probably add too much latency for you, so you'd want a host in London with 
good peering.
