I use a server in the office for development work, but anything production goes on a box in a datacentre.

I run a Dell Poweredge server at home, and the upload speed means anything other than simple sites kills it.

You have to think your server will likely have 100mbps connectivity and the average user is 2-8mbps, where as standard SDSL is 2up/down, so you'll soon be out gunned.

A standard bb like is 128kbps-1mb up, and dies even sooner.

GW, a good dedi can go into a thousand a month easy, so do you NEED better or would you like better ?

Collocating currently at Iomart Group PLC (Nottingham). I will be moving my server further north next year, as my server is unmanaged and driving to notts is a pain in the arse from here.

Quad Core X3353
4 GB Memory
1TB Disc Space (2x 500GB)
Raid 1
100mbit up

2U Collocation
.8 Amps
3000GB/Mo Transfer

I also have test/backup servers at home in my cabinet.

Currently using ehosting.co.uk for my personal site, I’ve been very satisfied with the speed/uptime so far. Finally, I’m using Rackspace for my e-mail hosting, though I will be ending my contract and moving to gmail.

Is this your site?

They're just a godaddy reseller...

You might find renting a quad core dedicated from a provider much more preferable these days. You can get a box from Rapidswitch, Poundhost, UK2 that will be fine for most things for ~£50 per month these days. It means you don't have to worry about hardware and depreciation and driving to the DC to fix your stuff etc... co-lo is great if you have specialised hardware requirements, but otherwise it can be a lot more hassle that it's worth.
