Ask HN: what to do with a colocation contract?

[auntjemima]

I have an extra server that I cannot justify colocation for anymore (everything it runs can fit on a slicehost $20/month).

I have about $600 in payments left in the colocation contract and they want half that to cancel early.

Are there any good ideas for softening this cost (I don't need to "make money" just not spend so much)? It would have to be some arrangement that was very low maintenance for me.

Some kind of "sublet"?

Thanks

Sounds like a startup opportunity. Ebay for sublets. Then again, everyone is going virtual these days so it might be a still born opportunity.

As for you specific situation, I would eat the 3 months and be done with it. But perhaps someone else has a better idea.
