Re: [PLUG] looking for secure space for a mail server

2018-06-16 Thread Tomas Kuchta
I would also encourage you to look for virtual machine - it is easier, the
choice is excellent and it is portable - you can move if you need to far
easier.

About your original question - the price you were quoted looks OK to me.
15U is huge - it would fit pretty sizable setup such as 14x 1U 2xCPU, 1TB
RAM + 4Hdd DL360 servers + 1U network switch. You could do quite a bit of
work/revenue with that.

I would imagine that small and cheap Colo setup would fit to 1U, not 15U.

Hope it helps, Tomas

You may use ssh for file sharing now, but you have had many (mis)adventures
with NFS recently. I don't know about /exports specifically, but I do know
that NFS terms its file shares as "exports."
