Diary of an (Ex?) WoW Addict

I've decided to go reading about the many web hosts I've found. I'm still apprehensive on picking up new people. But so far the hosts I've found were kinda shady - having barely any info on them, or finding out later they have a laundry list of angry customers.

This week I've landed upon a subset of hosting - colocation services. Now I've never knew of this, I mean I've heard of dedicated server hosting but not where you actually send your own server drive to a sort of warehouse. This seems more for a small business though. I mean we run a small server here in our geek lair but nothing that serious. Note that these guys do offer web based domains; they mention that they have high security both offline and online which ever way a customer chooses which is neat.

But even though this idea seems a bit too much for what I need, I know a few peeps that do need the managed hosting solutions. I mean one cousin is planning on fixing pcs and is recruiting a bunch of outside help to expand his business. And with the amount of pcs they use...why not?
