Editing Single Host Virtualisation (section)

== Colo/Data Center ==
There are some web hosting providers that will provide equipment for either rent or "rent to own" (RTO means that after a period of time, the equipment actually becomes yours). A good provider of RTO is [https://billing.dacentec.com/hostbill/?affid=815 Dacentec]. They provide a mix of servers in a data center environment for a low monthly cost. Not every server is RTO, but there are some that are. After 12 monthly payments, the server becomes yours and you can colocate it with them for a low monthly fee.

The thing to keep in mind with data center equipment is that you get to off-set your costs for power and cooling, which may work in your favor. This is one of the reasons why I prefer to colo - the cost of coloing a server or two might actually be cheaper depending on your situation and requirements.
