[Discuss] BLU server

[Zachary Liebl]

I colocate my server at EndOffice. I like them a lot for 3 reasons:
The owner is really knowledgeable and nice
They have a "Mini PC" hosting service where if you have something like a NUC and it has a 65W or less power brick, then you qualify for mini PC pricing which is only $20 per month
They have many locations in and around Boston, and are opening another one in Phoenix so that you can have offsite failover that does not go down if a blizzard hits New England
You get a /30 IPv4 for free and a /64 IPv6 for free (some datacenters only give ipv6 for free)
You can pay your bills with cryptocurrency
I have a Beelink ser5 colocated in Somerville and I pay with Ethereum. It is very convenient.

I am not sure what else you have running on your server, but assuming it is just simple stuff like webservers and mailservers then you would be fine condensing it onto a mini PC. They even have Raspberry Pi colocation for $9/month which is probably enough. Of course they also have standard 1U, 2U, etc hosting.
