So it's sounding like with a colo or other hosted solutions the price really has come down so significantly as to make this not matter.
As long as you are planning for it, yeah. Considering a full colo with the rack, power, Internet, TBs of transfer, etc. is all $50/mo...
$50/month for a 1 or 2 U spot?

1U, 2U is normally a little more. $65 or so.

Vultr has 1TB and so does MNX.io (my old cloud server provider). MNX charges $0.10 per GB over, that's a crazy amount of data in a month to get to $1500.
And what is the bandwidth rate? You can only pump so much over a normal connection.
When I had it, I was getting around 20 Mbps when doing updates and such, not sure what the actual reported limit is.

Where are you hosting?
I really need to look into the cost of colo'ing if that's all it is! I guess I need 8U = around $260/month or $3120/yr... and that includes 100 Mb internet...

You get better rates getting a quarter or half rack. This is with 3Z in Canada.
Ask @chrisl as he may have insight for you in the US, he is with Colocation America.
Colo is definitely so cheap that it is well worth it in nearly all cases.

We have several really nice DCs here in Omaha. We aren't on any fault lines, decent power grid, good ground, etc for datacenters.
Though the last time I asked for pricing, it was like $200/U and I don't know that that included internet access.

that's why you don't colo "local". Just like most services today, location means little and providers use that as an opportunity to hold at ransom people who think that it is. you don't want "far away" with colo, but Chicago, Dallas, St. Louis, Houston and even Toronto and Fesno aren't bad for you.

Admittedly, I haven't looked at pricing in over 5 years.

Five years ago it was teh same at 3Z

@Dashrender Hey Dash--our typical 1U in our top LA facility starts at $75 with all bells and whistles and goes up from there. Send me a message and maybe I can point you in the right direction.
