    I'm here to ask people who holds knowledge related to servers builds.

    My team has been discussing to ditch dedicated server rental and go for co-location rent, supposedly it'll save us some money and much better customization.

    So I need to figure out if that is true, I would need at least dual processor, 32-128GB RAM, maybe some SSD/HDD (we will have multiple servers; there could be application and storage servers designs)

    Theoretically the idea is that you can compile and build an server unit cheaper than 2500, preferably 2000.

    I am currently now renting servers off hetzner.de/en; Please go observe and see if you think you can make an cheaper "package", colocation can be among of those "well known" data center, such as hivelocity but however hetzner wins colocation pricing still.

    If you have any questions, please ask, and i'll be here to answer and give out more informations.
