Yes it's in the Valley and I do consider locating it there. But I would like to do the whole "support your local business" thing. And the idea of being able to get to the server within 10 minutes is appealing.
have a longer drive to the colo. But it does no you good to locate your server in a "closer" colo if you can't access it at night anyway!
True, it's one of the reasons I was nitpicking about it. No 24/7 access eliminates one big advantage.
From the colo provider's perspective, 1U clients are the least profitable clients. Setting them up and servicing them involves the most paperwork and communication "per dollar"

Thanks for your pointer wrt layer42, I will certainly look into it. Greetings, Jeroen -- http://goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/ http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/plural-of-virus.html
