why colocation seems more expensive than dedicated server
hi,
it seems to me that colocation is more expensive than dedicated server, which is unreasonable to me. Why?
let me see, RackShack.net $99/month for 400 gb bw, with server and software and management. Why can not anybody give me a colocation deal at $50/month with 400 gb bw?
If not, why?
thanks
charlie.

Rackshack is by no means a measuring stick for services. Also, rackshack heavily resells, if you amoritize the value of their servers of 24 months (2 years), the servers cost around $14/mo. Theres a few providers that will give you 85/mo colocation :), probably not with 400gb of bandwidth, but thats because rackshack heavily oversells.
but they will charge you much more for a better machine
but they charge you much more for a better machine, for the same size and bandwidth.
