In the early 2000's I paid about $1.5k for a 1RU Celeron 733 server in a rack at he.net with free hosting by a "friend" ... he was caught nabbing BGP ASNs or unused IPs and his IP range was derouted, so any attempts to send packets to that network would fail. Outbound still worked though: I could still see the server trying to do DNS zone file fetches on my home office server for at least 2-3 years after that. I have no idea what happened to it, maybe it's still up... I never really chased it up since I didn't have to pay for the hosting...
