  • Many years ago I built my own 1u server, built on consumer parts, I filled it with drives and memory. Co-location costs including tax was £56 per month, cheapest available in the country at the time. Other costs I didn’t account for were gaining access to the machine to fix or upgrade parts, driving to the data centre.

    Generally it was good experience, satisfying having almost total control over my platform. Do it for the experience.

    But Hetzner is difficult to beat for overall value.
