Hi people.

Currently i have around 3 Dedicated servers i colocate in IP House London, im looking for a new cheaper colocation. Currently i pay around £50. i use around 2.2Mbit average so im guessing im looking for 3Mbit based on 95 Percentile??? im not sure so maybe you can help explain to me. Any way link me to what you know

£50 a month!!

Out of interest, what server spec do you get for that price?

Seems very cheap to me

I only pay ~£35/month for the dedi I use but its spec and bandwidth availability isn't exactly great (enough for my needs at the moment however):

2.4ghz cel
512MB ram
80GB storage
100Mbit pipe with 100GB/month limit
Fedora Core 8 (iirc)

Not remotely top-end but it does the job for that price,

I doubt you will find much cheaper than £50 without compromising performance / reliability. Here are two for under £50 with some good recommendations:

Poundhost £42 (+vat) with free setup for 1u/2u

Rapidswitch £34 (+vat) with free setup for 1u in

Think yourself lucky you are in that locality.

Here in Wales/The West colo prices are £100+ and that's for like milliamps of current and bandwidth limited to running a 1980's bulletin board.

I've used both Rapidswitch and Poundhost in the past, I can recommend both for colo.

gotta love not paying for the rackspace aswell anyway £50 sounds cheap enough when i was having my machines hosted i was paying close to £100/month with 2mb/s 95th percentile
