Further to what other people have said, I'd query what your primary 
objective is.

If you want a vanity server with an unusual USP on which you can host a 
few low volume web sites then you don't really need it in a data centre. 
  It will be much cheaper to get a broadband connection with a fixed IP 
address and host your sites from home.

If on the other hand your primary objective is to find a home for some 
web sites then you're almost certainly better off with some sort of 
virtual server out in the clouds.  Then the hardware is Someone Else's 
Problem, which is usually an advantage.
