GE Capital comes to mind... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill McGonigle Sent: Friday, February 04, 2005 11:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: rental servers?
Here's a strange question - has anyone heard of a service that provides short-term server rentals? This is for benchmarking an application on a machine for a client who's not interested in purchasing a dual-xeon with two gigs of RAM and phat SCSI disks just for benchmarking, but would be interested in renting one for a few days to see how their application performs on it. It's also different from a colo/rental which is usually monthly plus some minimum term. One could unethically take advantage of a money-back-guarantee on such a thing but I'm not looking for that kind of solution. In theory this could be a profitable business but I haven't seen anything like it - if the rental fee was like $25 a day one could double his money on each server each year, not counting the year-end eBay. Of course if anyone here has such a thing that's sitting on a shelf and would prefer to make some dollars on it for a week that's totally doable. -Bill ----- Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 603.252.2606 http://www.bfccomputing.com/ Page: 603.442.1833 AIM: wpmcgonigle Skype: bill_mcgonigle _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
