Hi,
I currently have a 3U server at Joe's Data Center in Kansas City for $50.00 USD a month. I'm looking to relocate my server to Winnipeg, and am looking for a good, low cost colo facility.
les.net looks good, but with the nickle and dimeing (7.50 for an ethernet port, 7.50 for a 120 volt outlet...), it adds up. Is there anyone else in Winnipeg?

There's GSC (Global Server center, don't have the URL handy), other than that I don't know. MTS will host it, of course, for a lot *more* than you're spending now. There aren't any dedicated Colo providers here that I know of. The new EPIC/MTS data Centre will be the first 100% dedicated facility I know of, but it'll be fairly expensive and more importantly, not available until summer 2015. CC'ing the Asterisk list, since it has a bunch more people who work in that end of things. -Adam
I know of http://www.fiberfortress.com/ .. local to Winnipeg. I remember Robert mentioning them during his touring of facilities. He would also know more I'm sure. I haven't used their services.

Hi,
I emailed FiberFortress, specifying 1 or 2 3U servers. He replied with a half rack quote at $550. Still waiting for a response to my second query.

I'm curious - why do you need your own hardware at a colo site instead of just renting a VPS?
If you want a VPS inside Canada, the biggest player (with, apparently, really good support) is OVH.com. Well, at least until/unless Quebec secedes, at which point whether they're "in Canada" or not depends on where the border gets drawn :-). They'll also colocate your servers.
Also with a good reputation is Blackbridge (http://www.blackbridge.com/networks/facilities/location.html).
However, keep in mind that $50/month for 3U of colo rack space is actually a really good deal... one I don't think you'll be able to match in Canada, at least not at reputable establishments. (I mean, seriously, you could put your server in my rack for $50/month, but I can only guarantee you about 10Mbps symmetric right now.)

For dedicated server hosting in Canada, I have used iWeb. They aren’t the speediest network wise, but I have had very good service and reliability for the last 7 years (one HD failure, which they fixed immediately).
If you check their warehouse clearance section, you can get a pretty good deal. I have a Dual-Core machine with 8GB of Ram and 2x500GB HD’s for $59/month.

If it doesn't have to be colo, I've had several years of total satisfaction with
Canadian Web Hosting http://www.canadianwebhosting.com/
They're in Vancouver (and now in Toronto too), and VERY Canadian. They even advertise U.S.-free routing if the endpoints are both in Canada.

OVH has since moved their lower end systems to SoYouStart. I've delt with OVH/SYS, iWeb, Peer1, 1&1. My opinion of OVH/SYS is they're quite good. Currently a $60/mo gets you into the quad core 3.4Ghz, 32GB Ram, 2x2TB hardware raid, 200 Mbps guaranteed up/down, unlimited traffic. The cheaper ones don't have any KVM over IP but their web interface lets you install a variety of distros which it does automatically from over the network. They also have a network boot recovery which comes in handy.

Considering a decent residential internet connection is $50/month, I doubt you'll find anything in the sub-$50/month range. Why not just get a static IP from your local provider and "co-lo" it in your closet?

I take care of the network at FiberFortress. You contact Rod at rod@fiberfortress.com for a quote, but I don't think it'll be that cheap.

I don't know anywhere where you'll get it that cheap. If you do, please let me know.
Having had stuff at Les.net before I can't recommend putting anything there. He finally got air conditioning but the dust there was insane. We tie-wrapped furnace filters to the front of the rack to try and keep dust out of our servers. The network reliability was also spotty.
