I was just wondering what I should do ... I need to host 1 beast of a machine possibly 2 behind a solid internet connection with high upload ...

I was wondering if anyone knew of any UK companies that would hold on to my server and allow me to use their internet ? like a data center but I bring my own gear...

OR

if anyone knew the prices of any good company's business internet ? (they seem to withhold them)

OR

finally should I just try and rent a small office within offices and just put my server in the middle of the room -___-

Why no dedicated hosting?

From my past experience I would highly recommend giving Opal Telecom a call. They're part of TalkTalk and have several datacentres that allow co-location. Don't listen to the scaremongering stories on Google, the service I had from them is top-notch. I had 2 x 1U plus switch co-located at a datacentre in Newbury, Berkshire for a reasonable sum. Up-time was 99.99% over a 2 year period, connection to 2 power grids and 3 different lines in of which all were gig speeds. I can't name the clients but a large credit referencing company had their entire outfit hosted in the same datacentre.

do you know any prices ? the most difficult thing about setting something like this up is everyone withholds prices I need some kind of idea I just want a round about price so I know whether or not to pursue this

used to use them, couldn't fault them. Where abouts are you based? I used them for their Manchester racks. it was about £40 for a 1u server iirc. however more u's will start to cost more.

You have fairly good upload with your ISP in your sig, maybe a few more of those lines if Co-Location is out of your budget.
