<pre>I'm curious. Why insist on colocating your own hardware at that kind of
price when you can rent a virtual machine from a cloud provider like
Amazon's S3 much more cheaply? Is there some specialized hardware on the
machines that can't be virtualized, or maybe security fears?

<pre>I can't speak for Bruce, but generally people co-locate for one of two
reasons: 1. You actually control your own hardware instead of a
virtual machine ultimately owned by someone else in a far-off land. 2.
You can have much larger amounts of RAM and especially HD in your own
server compared to what you can usually get from a VPS for the same
price.

Ben, you got it absolutely correct. What I am doing requires a large
amount of CPU usage and RAM. I have all the hardware, I just need
better bandwidth, no port blocking, and a static IP would be nice.
The current 2M up on my residential line is not keeping up. I am
also displeased with the blocking of incoming ports such as port 80.<br>
<br>
Like I said before, I have the hardware and want to put it to task.<br>

I'm interested in the details. I'm planning on doing some hosting services
in the future. Is this purely for redundancy; like a "hot site"? Is it for
hosting websites redundantly, or other services as well?

It is honestly just a project for my own enjoyment and learning.
This is why price is a major factor. Though, I have considered
providing free or extremely cheap hosting to some non-profit groups
like the Muskegon Railroad Historical Society.<br><font color="#888888">
