Single Server Colocation

One or two machines. Low Power suits a standard 1U server; Standard Power covers a chassis that draws more.

What Each Step Up Actually Buys

Cost per rack unit falls as the footprint grows. Where a step does not improve something, it says so.

Quarter Rack 10U → Half Rack 20U +$600/mo
10 more rack units, 550W more power, bandwidth to 1 Gbps. Cost per rack unit drops from $80.00 to $70.00.
Half Rack 20U → Full Rack 42U +$1,100/mo
22 more rack units, 2,020W more power. Bandwidth is unchanged at 1 Gbps — this step buys space and power, not throughput. If throughput is the constraint, a bandwidth upgrade on the smaller footprint costs less. Cost per rack unit drops from $70.00 to $59.52.
Annual billing pays for ten months, not twelve. On a Full Rack 42U that is $5,000 back each year. The same two-months-free applies to every footprint and every add-on.
