Get something like a PiKVM and drop all of the stuff about being very local since you can find a cheaper overall provider elsewhere and use smart hands once a year either for free or still cheaper than picking the local place you can drive to. Even if you do the things in this guide perfectly it'll break/hang/get misconfigured at some point and the PiKVM (or like) lets you remotely hard boot a box instantly without having to drive or open a ticket. It also enables you to easily reinstall the entire OS remotely if you need to.
If your server/device has an IPMI... get a PiKVM (or like) anyways. Not only will you last more than 2 seconds without being hacked but it'll have more functionality and be much faster.
If you're in the US there are lots of places in the Kansas City area that have ridiculously cheap pricing and it's decently centrally located in the country.
