At least in Germany, cheap colocated servers for about $40 a month
(including hardware rent, colo space, power and net) are
state-of-the-art at the moment. Having a serial console is pretty
exotic with these servers. Usually the most you get is a remote power
cycle facility and some rescue system which can be bootet over the
network.
