Oh uh, hey guys. I reckon this is approximately the right place to post this here bit.

So, we've been hosting miners here at the shop for about six months now. The setup is basic - open shelving, so anything goes; it doesn't have to be an enclosed, rack-mountable or anything special. We have 50KW of hosting space currently, and 20KW of that is available right now.

Our rates right now are based on KWh and average KW draw during the month, and comes out to $98.40 per KW per 30-day month. We just got approved for an expansion that should be completed within a few weeks - hopefully before the end of February - which will allow us to open up a further 60KW of space. The increase in electrical service drops us into a different rate, so once we hit that threshold we'll be charging a flat $.10/KWh. That includes VPN remote access to your mining hardware. Note that's $72/KW per 30-day month, and this is the standard price. There is no six-month-contract or pay-in-advance requirements to get that price like with a lot of other outfits.

Our main business is power supply hardware, so any machines that don't have PSUs internally we can supply server PSUs and interfaces with cabling for discounted prices. Setup fees are reasonable ($10 per machine/connection) and there's no hidden anything charges. We just like helping out the community, and knocking down rent on the shop so we can focus on the main business and nifty new projects. In case server PSU flags anyone's attention, most of our stuff is listed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=940317.0

If you've got any questions, there's discussion in QuiveringGibbage's hosting provider directory thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=622998.360

Also feel free to email hosting@gekkoscience.com and I can field any questions not already tended to in various forum posts.
