HOSTING COMPANIES -I'm looking to colo a backup server, who wants to make me a deal ?
 

I would like to set up a backup server at a different location than where all of my primary servers are located.

I haven't purchased the backup server yet, I'm looking for something that will store about 4-6TB. Let me know how much it would cost to colo a server with you. provide different prices for rackspace so I know which size server to go with if it makes much of a difference in price.

Any ideas, suggestions? Make me a good deal and I will take it :)

Pricing with us will mostly depend on power usage.
I can get you something setup like the following:

Single Server Colo - up to 4U Rackspace (should be more than enough)
Up to 2Amps Power Usage (should be enough)
/29 IP Allocation
Private VLAN
1,000Mbps Network Port - Fully Burstable
UNMETERED INCOMING BANDWIDTH
2,000GB Outgoing Bandwidth
$109/month, $0 setup fees

Thank me later

Huh,i never heard how price can depend on power usage until now.

Bandwidth and space isn't the only commodity you need to worry about in a D/C :2 cents:

I've got one in the same building and I don't have to worry about it ... lucky me :food-smil10

Ok,if i ever going to colo,i'l bring solar collectors as well :pimp

see my sig

Actually Power is one of the most costly components of Data center space.:2 cents:

We can take care of you. Feel free to hit me up and I will create a custom price for your colo server.

Regards,

Yeah power is a major cost factor and was always included with every colo quote
we've ever received. It's not important if you have a little server with one or two
hard drives pushing huge bandwidth (a typical porn site). The bandwidth bill covers
the power usage when you have a lot of bandwidth. For a backup server, there's
very little bandwidth so power becomes the largest cost, along with space.

Will, I think you'll very much want to look into Clonebox:
https://bettercgi.com/clonebox/
Clonebox will give you all of the advantages you'd have buying and coloing a separate
backup server, at a lower cost, and with state of the art software systems to keep
your spare server ready at all times. For example, it's very common that people make
one huge error with backup. They backup daily, say at midnight. At 11PM, a cracker
wipes out the site. When they notice that, at 6AM, the backup has already run and
you have two copies of crap. Your expensive backup has done you no good whatever.
Clonebox keeps FOUR copies ready to boot at any time, so you can boot the server
as it was last night, the night before, last week, or last month. That's one little
example of one of the many things we take care of for you so you have a state of
the art solution, and it costs you less than buying, hosting, and maintaining your own
dedicated spare server.
