Brad, you've been helping people a long time, I respect you for that but..

$350 per month for an unmanaged server is simply gouging. OVH has some of the biggest data centres on the planet with massive links and peering in place, far beyond most competitors. You can get an unmanaged, 4 core 8 thread server with 32GB of RAM, 250Mbps guaranteed unmetered bandwidth for under $50 a month at SoYouStart for a budget server and under $100 per month at OVH for more bleeding edge hardware with 500Mbps guaranteed bandwidth.

If someone is paying $350 per month for a typical unmanaged server they're paying too much.
