Yeah Brook... I only say what I do based on my experience...
I have seen folks spend 20-30k a month to those at 2k a month... I am
hard pressed to say either works well...
If you need hands on your machinery then it is a big expensive flight,
hotel etc... plus it takes time... more time than the web allows..
Perhaps a good load balancing appliance that sits outside the
datcenter.. or better two of them with geographic distribution and at
minimum one of those sites being at your location is a nice hybrid
play...
Let's all face it... If you don't buy your bandwidth and connection
from the people who own the network, there are more layers of
problems...
Play with the variables based on your budget... and get running from
that data center... I can give you better uptime on my DSL connection :)
