Without knowing the particulars this seems a bit on the pricy side. For
$100/mo I can colocate with a large local ISP with multiple redundant
connections to 2 major backbones, UPS and generator backup, environmental
controls and 24x7 physical access with a 10GB/mo traffic cap. If he's
offering a relatively large amount of physical space and many machines per
user, $100-150/mo might be reasonable. Places like Exodus can charge
through the roof for colo fees but that's largely due to their
reputation. -James
