388381 2005-09-14 07:43:00 i am thinking of getting some rack space for my server.

what might the cost be?

just looking for a ballpark figure.....

$100 per month??

$2000 per month??

basicly i just want to know if there is any point looking closer at the prices and options :-)

388382 2005-09-14 09:07:00 For a start is it actually a rackmount box? How many U? Non rackmount machines attract higher costs.

The cost of the rackspace isn't really the big factor, it's the data plans that will get you. Where are you physically located, as the box is no good to you in the SkyTower in AKL if you're in Gorrrrre.

388384 2005-09-14 09:22:00 2U box, want location in or near Wgtn/lower hutt

currently only push 2 or 3 Gb per month.We do co-lo stuff in Wgtn CBD, ~ $225 p/m for a rackmount box. More if it's > 2U or some crufty desktop or floorstanding machine.

That includes 500M Int traffic, and Unlimited Nat traffic.

There's quite a few places in Wgtn that do Co-lo stuff.

388386 2005-09-14 09:31:00 If you want it in the Hutt then DTS is prob your only choice there. Personally wouldn't touch those guys with the longest of barge poles.

Central Wellington shouldn't be too big a problem. A few to choose from.
