Hi

I need to host a single 2u server in a datacenter, 1 IP, nothing fancy. Can't seem to see a provider that doesn't want me to rent 22u's of space. Any recommendations?
 
Bit late to the party but, quite right! Most of the providers want you to take half or full racks.
Afrihost do have a colo option called "my server" where they slapp your stuff into the galow manor DC for about 1k a month.
 
Interesting as i was looking for somewhere to put a server i wanted to do something.

However, its not a in a 2u rack-mount chassis. I would need to find/build one.
 
Afrihost or WebSquad would be your best bet, we unfortunately discontinued colo hosting.

Having said that, it may be for more cost effective to host your stuff on one of our EPYC VPS servers which are currently on special, and they perform very well

It absolutely would not be. The server is completely setup and hosted Colocation at a different IT companies office. Getting overseas people to reinstall their app - which isn't certified to run a VM's would be a big cost

Depending on the provider, I'd ask if they can provide you with a shelf on which to install the server. However, they're then likely to charge you for the unused U-space.

You can get 4u rack mount boxes that fit std pc components. DM me if u want more information
 
My problem was a simple one, the box i wanted to host was a repository, so it had people syncing around 5-6TB a month. Most VPS providers told me to get lost lol, even those with "uncapped" offering.
 
I'm pretty late replying here - but if you are still interested we can possible assist with space less than half a cabinet.
