[GRLUG] Co-location hosting in or near GR/Muskegon

[Rob Steenwyk]

I work for Trivalent, but off the top of my head I have no idea what we
charge for co-lo. I can find out tomorrow if you want? We do have a pretty
nice datacenter in Grandville. My guess is our price is on the higher end to
be completely honest.

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.
