Hey, I have a US business tax question.

As previously mentioned, I'm in the market for VPS service. I found one that I think I might like, and it's a bit pricey. But it's also a pretty complete package, such that it would make sense for me to use it for both business purposes and personal purposes, instead of paying for two separate services.

Is there a way to do this that doesn't piss off the IRS? Like could I say that the percentage that I use for business is a business expense, and the percentage that I use for personal is not?

More generally, is there a solution for things like "If I get both my business and personal banking/cell carrier/etc from the same company, I get a nifty discount, but a frustratingly consolidated bill, how can I do this and still expense the business expense part?"

I'm spending a lot of time right now trying to not be too obsessive.

I have to change what I'm doing so I don't just keep doing it (or pick up the next thing that's somewhat similar).

Time gaps are particularly difficult, because there's a space of time before the next thing (lunch) starts.
