Re: who offers cheap (personal) 1U colo?

it's a vision thing.  i like the idea of responsible 1U-owners extending
their digital footprint to all parts of the globe.  most domestic residences
don't have UPS, backup generator, or high speed IP with static global
addresses.  and there is no reason to try to solve that problem given the
way-more-efficient 1U colo model.

On the other hand, if the person doesn't have a UPS at home, what good is when their SMTP server in a colo is still chugging? :)
