I can help in Dallas. Feel free to drop me a email ernie.quick (at) dedipath.com
Josh from Texas could help @DataIdeas-Josh

We have sent you a PM.
I think WholesaleInternet does a whole rack for like $400 w/ Bw in KS?
Yeah, WSI looks like a good deal. Might need to give that a try myself, since I'm happy so far with the cheap dedi I picked up there.
Might also be worth checking in with Joe's to see whether they can offer an equally-good deal, even though the pricing on their site looks pretty high. Not sure how much space they actually have.
I'm usually in KC a couple of blocks from Joe's twice a month or so. If there's some interest, I could maybe drop in to a couple of these places and post some pics, etc. Been meaning to do that "one of these days" now that I'm in the area.
We can offer racks at Lightedge in Kansas City

Do you have pricing posted publicly or can you PM me your offers? Thanks
I'm not @Terrahost, but… https://terrahost.com/colocation
Not sure whether that's just Norway, but since the price is in dollars… I should probably consider putting a tower in KC if it is. All this old hardware laying around here going to waste…
Base price for 1U colo is $70/mo in all our locations
Get in touch for an offer. Tower colo is only available in Norway.
What do you think about qts or cyxtera? Good options!
Someone needs to explain to me how they make any money!
Efficient spending.

I'm fairly sure their state has some big grants program so tehy get things for near free in a lot of cases.
Aaron had mentioned in the past that he had entire pallets of gear arrive and he only paid shipping, the rest was subsidized by the state.

Level One Serves @Ian_Dot_Tech
I wonder how they able to do that though?
Subsidized by the state? For what Hosting?!
Might be just any business to get business there due to in the middle of tornado alley.
What are they?
So my sense is that there is very little, if any profit, in that base offer. Probably used more as an opportunity to get folks in the door so they spend on remote hands and other more profitable services (and hopefully grow at better margins, too).
I feel like you're overthinking it. They operate everything themselves, yeah? If so, they don't have the overhead many others do, and probably are more efficient at spending and reducing waste like many companies do (wasting company money on stupid shit) and are generally in a lower cost area. Only one person can know for sure, but I doubt he'd come here to discuss.

Qts - data centers across several states in the US. Including Kansas.
Cyxtera is more north-oriented. And they are located in Dallas.
I want a rack but can't get hold of Aaron from https://www.wholesaleinternet.net/ in last 3 -4 days.
aaron@youknow....
I will DM you the phone just in case.
I've got a pretty good idea about datacenter economics considering I've designed, built and operated them
.
Then why are you asking and discussing how they make money. After all, your state energy cost alone is typically double (or more) more expensive than where they operate.
I don't understand your point.
