    I was looking recently for prices on colocation in Ireland and I was quite surprised when I seen the prices, most were around €150/m. How come it's so dear here ?? In the UK I've seen colocation as low as £40/m with the same features.

    Possibly because everything else in Ireland is also more expensive than almost anywhere else in the world?

    If you're seriously thinking of shipping the server abroad to co-lo, wouldn't it be more sensible to rent a dedicated box in a rack somewhere abroad? That's what I'm doing at the moment and I can't really see too many pragmatic benefits in shipping abroad your own box over that.
