I would say that service/performance would be terrrible at stuch a place.
My plan would be to put most customers with iserver.com (or pair.com or
hiwy.net or any other competent host). I like iserver because each customer
gets their own server, pop3, msql, and they just keep on getting better.
But disk space is too expensive there.
I would suggest co-locating a box somewhere when you really need a lot of
space.
A local guy who just plugs computers into an incoming pipe will plug my
computer on his network for US$100 a month up to 5 IP addresses. I can have
as many hard drives as I want. My limitation is the IP address. This guy has
no written anything. UPS...maybe..multihoming...I probably know more about
that than him. Gasoline powered generators like at iserver....Not. Will a tech
get called if the server does not respond..? Gee, who is checking it.
Anyhow, I think co-location is the answer to the need for disk space (but I
would just host databases and files there -- not web servers).
