Looking for cheap colocation!
Hello!
I'm looking to start my first adventure with colocating a server that I built to have some fun with small vps servers, game servers, and just overall learning experiences. My server is older but not too bad for a starting piece of hardware. My server is:
SR550 (Lenovo ThinkSystem) - Type 7X04
Dual Xeon Silver CPU 4110 2.0GHZ
96GB DDR4 RAM.
I am located in North West, Florida, and do not mind shipping the server to somewhere. I was originally looking at Dallas, Atlanta, or Chicago being the ideal places, but I am open to offers and other areas. I appreciate any help or advice in advance!
From what I can gather I will need the following:
2U Space
2A / 208V power
A+B power feeds
1 GBPS Connection (whatever cheapest bandwidth is)

Cheapest trusted option is probably Microtronix in Ohio for a 2U at like $50. Then you got Dacentec in North Carolina for $55, then FiberState in Utah for $60 but I think they quit selling colo now.
In your case I'd probably suggest Microtronix. Ohio will have good latency to Florida, 35ms to Miami.
Thank you for the suggestion! I will definitely take a look at these guys and see if it will be a good choice.
