Thanks Jamie, thats a cracking checklist there for someone looking at this type of thing.

The servers and network kit isn't a problem - I can even install it all as my background (although a few years ago now!) was in networks.

Now you mention getting your own providers and IP ranges - that, to someone like me, sounds like it may involve a wedge of cash and a lot of form filling.

Is there a place I can look up these things, how to get providers into a rack and how to get an IP range.

As an aside - is it possible to own an IP range but use them on dedicated servers rented from other places. How would most providers react if you ask them to route your IPs through their network?

Sorry for all the questions, but I would like to know about these things and this place seems to know the ins and outs of the business very well!
