Out of curiosity, why go with a rack rather than just renting a server from them? At hobbyist scale this would be more cost-effective no? FYI they can give you 10Gbps uplinks on their servers too for an extra fee, no need for colo.

They offer BGP sessions only to colo customers, and I have my own IPv6 space that I want to use.

If they suddenly decided to offer BGP for dedi customers too, colo would no longer look that attractive.
