I have a friend with a rack of co-located servers I manage. I drive from San Diego to LA where they are located maybe once every 6 months or more. I don't believe I have been to the rack for about a year. The rack with 20mbs of bandwidth costs around $2,500 a month.



Did you really mean twenty megabits?


if it’s unmetered 20mbps I’d happily take that over ingress / egress cost at cloud provider such as AWS


Yeah AWS bandwidth egress is extortionate. Digital Ocean is something like 5-7x less expensive. It's ridiculous.


That's kind of shocking when compared to European prices. Over a full order of magnitude of difference, comparing to the list price of the first Google result.


Yes, not sure of the abbreviation apparently! But 20 megabits.

I like to watch Neil Patel's seo videos on Facebook occasionally and he mentioned for one service he runs he spends over 100k a month on hosting. It blows my mind because he could buy a top end server with dozens of processors and terabytes of ram, co-locate it and at least host some things on it or even turn it into your own cloud hosting server.

Even if a person bought 2 over-the-top servers for 30k each, paid around $2,500 a month for hosting it would save huge money.


20 motherboards?
