A lack of knowledge is easily correctable.  Google for "colocation  
power costs", and you'll discover that most colo's offer a 20 amp  
service included in their standard charge for renting a full rack,  
but  then will charge around $10 per amp per month for extra power,  
if not more.

Some places will add an extra $300-500 per month for each extra 20- 
amp circuit.
