Find a small ISP or WISP in your area. If you're not concerned with Physical security, and mantraps with Ex-Special forces security. They can probably find a spot to put your server, and will (should) have good redundant connectivity.
This is good advice, but let me add this: Keep an eye on your ISP... once they've been sold to *not naming names, esp. those that end in x*, it tends to get really dicey to get to your stuff. Big corps don't like other people's legacy....
We have several small Colo customers in our 20 Rack NOC outside of Chicago.
Thumbsup Nate! Elmar. PS: The best advice I've seen is to ask around at the local NOG meeting, or on their mailing list. People might just like you and want to help you out by squeezing your box in in places you didn't expect.
