Colocation - who, where & how much?
Hello all,
I just bought 10 servers, and this is my first time owning my own equipment, so I'm not sure what's next really. I thought coming here with a couple of questions would be my best bet in getting started off on the right foot.
1. I bought a few Dell PowerEdge 2650's. I'm not sure if those are 1U, 2U, or wht they are classified as. Can someone please let me know about that?
2. I'm looking for a place to colocate these servers. Can you please give you recommendations on a good place to colo them that's inexpensive, and that will manage the servers if something goes wrong?
3. What price range should I be looking at for a good colo provider? I assume the colo market is the same as any shared hosting market with dramatic pricing differences.
For now, thats all I can think of. I'm sure I'll come up with more questions as time goes on though. So, thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give me!
