It's called co-location, and usually gives you an emply rack space, 120v ac power, and connection to the net. You supply the rack-mount server, and about $150 per month. (YMMV) The rack-mount server is going to cost, but, unless you can find a garage operation somewhere, they aren't going to want any plain old desktop pc's sitting around taking up floor space. For $250 - $500 per month, you can get a dedicated server - they supply the rack-mount server and internet connex, you run anything you want on it. Understandably, no one wants "strange" software running on a server which also serves several other clients. A runaway program could bring down who knows how many web sites. Regards, Irv
