I know it's not exactly on track of what this site normally focuses on but I was looking for some input anyway.

So I bought myself a Foundry ServerIron server load balancer on eBay today. I was going to use it to primarily teach myself a little more about some networking as well as figure out what these things are truly capable of without risking a whole network going down. After I do what I wanted to do, it's a powerful and expensive piece of equipment to waste. I was thinking of putting it to good use along with some servers I have.

So I was thinking of possibly expanding my current, very small but successful webhost from a single cPanel server to have a more advanced option with better uptime and performance. I'm not sure how many of you are into webdesign, but what do you think of the idea of having a high-availability, control panel-less webhosting account available for relatively fair prices? Do you think this would be a successful addition to a small webhost or is it just a waste of time and money?
