Thanks folks for some good suggestions.

To summarise:

http://bitfolk.com/plans.html

http://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/
(But showing all sold out :-( )

http://www.tunnelbroker.net/
(For a tunnel to IPv6, must request port 25 if to send email)

https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing


And a beautiful few hundred pieces of RasPi:
http://raspberrycolocation.com/
(Except they have 860 pending orders...)


My thoughts are for a definite preference for real hardware rather than
going virtual. Lifting physical hardware is a bit more difficult and
deliberate than grabbing or tinkering with a virtual machine image...
Also, the real hardware guarantees that you have the machine resources
to yourself rather than suffering someone else's IO bottlenecks...

Then again, for the sake of merely tunnelling email, any of those listed
should be more than good for that.


I wonder if there are any Beaglebone or other ARM-based cheapie
hosts/colocation? ;-)


Cheers,
Martin
