RE: where to place a server

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.
