    How much does colocation end up costing?

    I doubt it’d be worth it, but it would be funny to move my dated homelab servers next to some shiny new stuff and get SLA level internet.

      Total guess, but probably $100-150/mo or so to rent 1U (and redundant power), and probably an installation charge (and a charge every time they need to touch the hardware for any reason). There may be extra charges for the uplink.

      Unless you have a need for that specific hardware to be there, it would probably be cheaper (and more maintainable) to go rent a virtual server somewhere.
