     I suspect that the reason that no one has answered this question (two days after the question was posted) is that you cannot get a 2U colocation for just $50 per month. Is that correct? According to what I have read recently (a discussion on linux.com), a common, current price is $50 per month per unit of rackspace, which would mean, for example, $100 per month for a co-located 2U server. Can anyone confirm that this is a common, current price? I also understand that actual throughput is an _additional_ charge, at least if it exceeds a certain amount. For example, if you are putting through an average of 512 Kb/sec., then you can expect to pay an additional $100 per month. Can anyone comment on that, too?

Sincerely,
