Where can I rent servers?

Not space but actual servers.

Any ideas?

Do you want to have the hardware yourself? If so, PM me - we have a dozen Dell Poweredges needing a home.

And maybe Jamie can colocate them for you.

Expand - what sort of servers?

Inhouse or co-located??

Cheers

Going to host your pr0n sites from home on one of those 50meg Virgin lines?

Jamie, was looking at your dedicated servers earlier - why do you charge so much for extra memory, given that it's so cheap to buy?

Cheap memory is cheap to buy, Quality Dell memory isn't, plus we have to warrant it, so we need to ensure we have spares for it so that we can replace it if it dies, and crucially, more RAM = More Power draw = more cost to me = more cost to you.

Power is my single biggest cost, and RAM is a very big power user.

[timskipper]

Interesting. Does your ram get cheaper for PH types? :-)

Yep, spot on. People don't realise just how much power that fancy Quad Core machine with 8GB RAM uses - even if its only 1U high.

We've got equipment in certain datacentres that have a 1kW per rack limit.

If you use more than that you _have_ to take another rack. Telco equipment, stuffed full of fancy DSPs and memory uses quite a lot of juice!

We've got a quad PSU sunfire that will use a whole rack's worth on its own!!
