A couple of years ago I gave MacStadium an endorsement when asked about colocation facilities for a Mac server. I now feel that, in all honesty, I have to rescind that endorsement. Things have changed there, and not for the better. Early on in my seven-year business relationship with them

I'm working with a company that has a seven user server running on a Mac mini. They've decided to go "office-less" and are looking to have their system hosted. This is a new area to me so I'm looking for recommendations for hosting services. We would like to use the current Mac mini and, for a
