According to the website: "As this is a private rack colocation service, customers are required to ship the hardware to Virtual Internet's datacenter and we will take care of the power and cabling. " IMHO, this kind of defeats most of the primary reasons for choosing colocation over hosted services. Sure, there are other special circumstances that still require your own hardware. However w/o your own physical access, I'd just choose a VPS, or dedicated hosting options. Or perhaps skip the reseller of the Center7 datacenter, and go straight to Center7. They do offer physical access. --lonnie /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
