Shout-out to Microtronixdc, my colocation provider. For their $55/month/U colocation package, they provide unmetered gigabit for no additional cost.

I see terms for hosting and domain registration and managed databases, but not colocation. Do you know if they really not care if you actually use that connection to the stated allowance?

Their big selling point is that they truly provide unmetered connections.

Yep, we do!! :)

Bandwidth for these providers is super cheap. The main cost is power consumption.

This is true, power is our largest expense.

Their option to colocate a Raspberry Pi (or similar form factor) for $5/month is also interesting as a VPN exit node.

Based on their broad "Acceptable Use Policy" (https://microtronixdc.com/acceptable-use-policy), I'd wager a guess they'll find a reason to shut that down.

We have a few exit nodes already on the network.

Yeah, I also later noticed they charge $46/month for 4 amps whereas the Raspberry Pi 5 requires a 5V, 5A power supply to take full advantage of its processing capabilities and features.

Thanks for the shoutout!! :)
