Hi All,
A theoretical question: is it still possible to host a physical server in Winnipeg somewhere? What would be the range of the hosting price per 1U, if there are no large traffic needs to it?
Googling brought me https://www.datacentermap.com/canada/winnipeg/fiber-back-up-canada.html which lists a price from 2015, $190/U. Is it a right range or things became much cheaper since? I am interested in the order of magnitude of the prices.
Thank you very much in advance!
