Sorry for the response delay. I unplugged via camping a few days. Thanks to M. Barnes for dragging everyone back on topic. How much the coo will cost depends on (1) Rack space or cabinet size; 15U is about 1/3 cabinet IIRC. (2) Power used (3) data transfer and bandwidth. (4) physical security (5) 24/7 access and a few others I might be forgetting. 15U is a fairly big space. Don't pay for empty space. Do you need your own locked cabinet (for a rack mount sever) or is a private locked cage OK for a full tower-style server? "1 power plug 110v AC" means next to nothing. What is the Wattage your server is expected to pull running at full tilt? If that is a 10KW cabinet do you need that much? "business class internet" is a bit vague. How fast and how much access to you need? 100Mbps? 1Gbps? 1TB or 100+TB data/month? Look for "carrier neutral" facilities. Of course, high connection redundancy comes at a price...as does speed and data. Building access 8am-5pm escorted will be cheaper than 24/7 unsupervised. Do you need the facility to be complaint with any Federal regulations? All that said, the PDX going base rate for 14U/15U seems to be $249-$325 plus any additional services, as far as I can gather (not everyone publishes open price lists). I'm toying with moving my hobby domains and servers to either a 1U/2U rack (~$75-99/month) or mini tower cage (~$99/month) so I can avoid fiddling with dynamic DNS on my residential comcast connection. Economy colo is also a bit cheaper since I don't need any extra security. I haven't figured out how to monetize said hobby, so still just looking at this point. The 2 places I've considered so far are Portland Colo (Spiretech) and DirectSpace Networks. Have Fun! Ed
