Buy or lease?

Are we talking about someone who 'resells' leased servers or someone like us who owns all our equipment in there?

Either way, don't forget about volume pricing... If you leased a server from us (we don't have any available at the moment so this isn't a sales pitch), you would be a part of our bandwidth commitments, and we put out the capital for the equipment and are taking on the maintenance risks.

Someone who simply supplies a resold leased server their getting and hopefully selling a 'value added' service to you. For example, if they're taking on administration like Steve said, or end-user support, or adding software like control panels into the mix.

BTW, I clicked on the thread because 'buying dedicated servers' caught my eye... thought some d.c. was offering to sell me servers - as in buy not lease.
