Hey, I didnt know where to put this, it would be best in a barter forum, but there isn't one so i thought this is the closest thing.

This is NOT spam, and NOT advertising.

What i have is Windows 2003 Standard, MYSQL 2005 Pro, Exchange 2007 Sand, Sharepoint 2007 Stand and Project Server 2003. I have been using them on a local computer/server in a INTRANET configuration. My ISP doesnt allow server hosting on my package and wants to charge me $90 for a 1MBit line (NOT SHARED, 1MB UP )

I cant afford this, looking around dedicated servers are about the same price, but with a 3mbit connection in most cases.

So can anyone give me some advice, or offer me a deal where we can server share, i pay the software and you pay the hosting as such?

My server is Quad Xeon 500, 80GB and 320GB server, 2GB RAM, 2 HOT SWAP Power drives, etc. Its a fair few years old and i use it for my Uni projects.

I want to put my Uni projects online, but cant afford a dedicated server nor the extra charge for my ISP. I have all the software, fully licensed i must add, and just want to share my work.

The software is worth well over $2000 usd, and i know if i go to a dedicated server i can use my own license key for Windows 2003.

So this is more of a plea for help

Any advice would be most helpfull

- PS - Please dont advise to post else where, i am a student who wants to help others and needs help to further his projects + please tell me where to post else where if you do feel the need to tell me to get lost =)

Thanks for that...

I am currently working on

- FLASH WORDPRESS Conversion
- RWE Physics Engine for CAD/Aeronautical and Automotive simulation
- WEB CP For IIS6/7

I also have a database i wish to publish with code snippets from C#, C++, C, VB, VB.NET, C#.NET, C++.NET, J#.net, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, AJAX, HTML, JS, CFM, FLASH ACTION SCRIPT

I wish to use a server to get a real world understanding of server administration where there are more than 10 users, i wish to use development environments not usually found on commercial webhosting such as sharepoint, project and other flash server componants.

I will install .net, php, ms sql 2005, mysql, pgsql, iis6, exchange, project, infopath, sharepoint and other scripts.

Last thing, i wish to use the server as a sharepoint server for use with fellow students to collaberate work.

What i need

- 90usd per month for either a server, or a high connection
or
- some one who needs a windows server who is willing to let me use the server in exchange for software or advertising

Ok, I found few:

iweb8.com/dedicated/server-deal/
corenetworks.net
gate.com

I have never used any; so I don't know if they are reliable or not.
