Would anyone pay about $20/month to rent an RPi colocated somewhere in the states, along with a basic control panel (reboot, reinstall, virtual console access, etc.)? Something like a model B with a 16 GB SD card? Just curious if there is a market for this vs virtual servers.


$20/m is too high.

There was another posting recently where a guy co-located his RPi (or Beaglebone?) for less than $20 total over a period of 18 months.


$20 is what you would pay for a comparable Linode virtual server.

You can also colocate your RPi for free in Amsterdam, but would you host anything serious there?


A $20 Linode Server would totally outperform a Raspberry Pi... you've got access to 8 Xeon cores vs 1 700MHz ARM6 chip.
