Anybody uses collocation hosting?
I mean you buy your own equipment and keep it running in a data center for a fee. Lets say I want to set up a tube site with hosted clips and this could cost like $600 per month or more to host (cloud storage hosting, I am assuming, extendable, so the site or sites can grow, probably indefinitely).
Has anybody actually took the collocation hosting route, what are the savings and is this a good plan? I am located in Europe and something close to Germany could be good but the question can apply to all the parts of the world.
Lets say you need a good extendable hosting for a large tube site (self hosted clips) and you want to save max amount of money on this. I guess collocation could be an answer, but would this work? What would be the costs, and so on?
Thanks.
