research: San Francisco colo

[willie]

This is research for possible future needs, not a service request per se:  for now I'm happy with my dedis and am just looking ahead to the next phase.  But I'd like to know if there's such a thing as budget colo hosting in San Francisco, which preferably means within the city proper, not "Bay Area" which covers a large distance.  Realistically "budget" probably has to mean maybe 2x the ultra cheap colo available in Dallas or LA, but of course lower is better.  If I can get 2U or minitower with 2 amps and 10 TB for $100/mo I'd be pretty happy.  I know about HE in Fremont but would like to know what else is out there.

You might be able to get close if you are willing to go outside of San Francisco, but I doubt you'll find it at this price in San Francisco.

Hmm what do you think the best I could do in SF is?  $100 for 1U and 1 amp instead of 2U/2A could possibly be ok.  Spending a bit more might also be ok but out-of-town starts looking better at that point.

colocationamerica has 1 U colo for $75 in SF proper  but it does say  prices vary please contact sales

Hmm, I found http://www.colocationamerica.com/colocation/ showing some reasonable prices, but they are LA only, have to call for other locations, and I'm not optimistic but I might give them a call.  Thanks!

I may or may not also be interested in this!

If you end up finding a provider, I would appreciate a follow up - I've been looking for sf colo as well and haven't found anyone willing to take just 1 server.
