Plus lets say you have a server in stock and it?s paid for and you are willing not to charge for it (why wouldn't you?). You still have a fully managed option, and if you are truly managing the server you need to pay salary. And then like someone just said you have all these hidden costs if you truly are a hosting company, like power and space and salaries, etc.

So here is how you can sell it for this price:
- Cap your 100 Mbps client to about 50 Mbps
- Make sure to throw them on Cogent or HE line but allow them one shared IP from a different provider on the upstream side where it will point to Level3 or something like that
- Use one of your old workstations as a server

Once again when something seems too good to be true it usually is. But here is the kicker if you don?t care that you are being scammed what do you care?
