alt Hacker NewsTrying to build a small-scale ISP/hosting provider domiciled in Canada. We really want to be able to rent real rack space to enthusiasts who would like to benefit from having stuff in the datacenter but don't want to take on the opportunity cost to get started. It came out of my own desire to have a machine in a DC rack.
This week we've been writing a bunch of "reviews" of self-hostable software since a lot of our friends are curious about this space but don't have a good understanding of how to get started. https://blog.colocataires.dev.
Your VMs are a bit pricier than some other larger services located in other parts of the world - which I understand. I hope you are able to scale to the point where you can lower these prices.
Are there any legal or other reasons I, a resident of Canada, should host my services in Canada rather than in Europe or US?
