I've got a colo server at Joe's DataCenter that I'm paying $50 USD for a month. Soyoustart beats that. I was thinking of sending a backup server to Joe's... I'm reconsidering.

How are these guys doing $29/mo "dedicated server"? What's the catch? They say it's a Xeon 3040 1.9GHz, so that's older/slower, but say I don't need speed. RAM 2G is anemic but doable if I don't need much RAM. Doesn't say ECC or not, so that's one possible catch (but usually Xeon==ECC). No RAID, that sucks, maybe it can be added as a cheap upgrade? Network looks very good.

Anyhow, that's 10-20X less than Rackspace wants for ded server. How are they doing this? Is there some VM or blade-ish thing going on here? Is it really a 1U box (or possibly even smaller form) somewhere just for me? _______________________________________________ Roundtable mailing list Roundtable@muug.mb.ca http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/roundtable
