Looking for Cheapest Colocation /w TB Based BW

edited May 2013 in General

For a personal non-profit project, I'm looking for the cheapest 2U 2A (one server) colocation in the USA.

The location does not matter.

I need at least 25TB BW @ 1Gbps port with cheap per TB overage fees.

The network can be single homed. I'm totally fine with HE.net and Cogent.

I need a /25 subnet with this with proper justification.

I've been searching and asking for quotes from datacenters. I've got a $149/month so far. I'm not sure if I can get even cheaper, that's why I've created this thread.

Looking for suggestions.

Datacenters can PM me with their offers as well.

    Dacentec can do a cheap BW for you (Cogent), but i think the cost IPs aren't quite cheap for $1/IP.

    They do $2 per ip

    Yeah, need cheap ips

  • @CVPS_Chris

    IPs are $0.20/IP/mo

    +1 to Colostore, just signed a yearly agreement on a 1/4th rack and got 10% off per month. Contact Josh Barrett (joshb[@]colostore.com) and see what kind of deals he can get you. Or Joe (joe[@]colostore.com).

    IPs are a bit expensive at Colostore, though.

    SouthBendVPS/SouthBendServers just a small company right now, hoping to grow with the 1/4th rack.

    And thanks, glad to be apart of the neighborhood! Great people at Colostore, Joe's a great guy, same with Josh. From the outside, Colostore doesn't really look like a Datacenter, but the inside is pretty nice actually.

    I'll be out there in a couple of days getting our 1/4th rack setup. Been talking a lot with Jason Canady (owns the cage, was a senior developer at LSN I believe) about getting set up. He runs also UnlimitedNet. Very helpful guy as well!

    I'm fairly interested in this topic myself, looking for maybe a quarter to half rack with at least 100TB on a gbit port, probably only need a /27 or /26 at most so I don't care too much about IP cost. I'd be fine with single homed or cheaper mixes. Thing is, I really would prefer something close to where I live so I can get there in under an hour. So central California(close to Lodi/Sacromento) and Central Florida(close to Daytona/Jacksonville) are my options. I know if went to LA for CA I could probably get some deals from QuadraNet. I'm in Florida at the moment so I'd prefer that for now, but can be in California if I really can't get the best deal here. Anyone got some opinions on the matter?

    Also, I don't mean to hijack your topic @serverian, if you mind this, I'll make my own.

    Edit: I should probably add something to this topic. Seconding Dacentec if you don't mind the IPs, I got some great offers from them while shopping around, but I just can't do their location.

    Chat with Fiberhub.

    You get silly cheap transit costs and IP's are well priced (< $1.00/IP range I think?)

    Supports great during their business hours. If you're colocating, save yourself any possible nighttime tech fees by having IPMI's on everything.

    Wow, that is really cheap.

    • Upgrade to 100TB Bandwidth / Gig-E Port – $150/m

    I'm tempted to forgo wanting to colo near me for a few boxes with these prices.

  • FranciscoFrancisco Top Host, Host Rep, Veteran

    Yep.

    Network is great. While latency increased for some users (namely Asia), a lot of them have reported far more stable speeds.

    Rob hasn't discovered a way to clone himself yet so he's usually bogged down some so try to give him a few to respond. Hitting him on WHT can usually get a quicker reply on questions too.

    They sell these 1/4 rack deals a lot and they're pretty cool. Each one is a completely split cube with its own private drop from their RX's.

    Very interesting, thank for you very much for the info @francisco. I'll surely have to contact them for some more info, maybe visit NV.
