Do you really need a physical box? You can get 30 GB and 1 GB of RAM for $10/month from Digital Ocean. Full ssh root access. Amazon has a plan going with free service for a year - http://aws.amazon.com/free/. Linode has 20 GB and 1 GB RAM for $10/month. Mark On Mon, Oct 20, 2014 at 9:03 AM,

Right now, this is just a thought. It may prove far too costly. The plan is for a game server serving multiple instances - Hmm.. I will have to figure out worst-case load to figure out what kind of bandwidth will be needed. I'll check out that linkThanks. :-) On 10/20/2014 09:24

2 years ago the company I used to be with Co located their servers to Interwrks' datacenter in Mesa. We used them for VOIP. I think it cost (monthly) $60/U plus bandwidth which I think was $100 5Gbs. This was space only you installed your own stuff. +1 for AWS. DigitalOcean is very competitive
