Server Renting

by nibbuls · in General Discussion · 01/15/2005 (10:24 am) · 3 replies

I'm just starting to learn to build my own servers, but before I invest too much time or money, how profitable is it to rent servers out. Can I sell a server (as in they are the only people able to use that computer)?

How much money would I make if I had 4 powerful computers with seperate backup power supplies per renter per month? ($100? $200?)

I'm renting a dedicated server from serverpronto.com for US$30/month. There's some pretty agressive pricing out there.

I have been running servers for my company and a couple of game servers at home for several years. I am curious, if you are going to be renting servers, what kind of bandwidth do you have?

I'm not sure, yet, because I haven't worried about making them yet.

I was just curious as to whether or not it would be profitable.

A guess of mine would be around T1. (If that's what you were asking ^^;;)

Thanks for the info!
