We are about to buy a server and was wondering if anyone knew of some good co-location space that we could put the server? I know this really isn''t rails related, but I think this post is applicable here because generally rails developers have their own server and know more about servers, or at least I think so.

The main reason I am wanting to co-locate is because we get to own the hardware. We currently pay quite a bit of money for our hosting at theplanet.com and we don''t own a thing. I don''t mind renting space, but we have paid for our hardware at least 3 times over. If engine yard allows me to own the hardware then I will be more than happy to sit down with you and talk. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Voxel.net is a good choice then, as they''re located in NY and have a very good reputation. NAC.net is located in NJ and also very good. Choopa.com is in NJ but more expensive. CRNC.net as well in NY, more expensive.

Re: Good co-location space?
I have had EV1 dedicated Linux box for about 3 years now and the service has been amazing. great price too. Pay about 140 a month for a 2.4 Ghz P4 with 1Gb RAM and 80GB HDD.

FYI, I''ve used and still use CRNC for hosting and colocation. I''ve been very happy with their service and highly recommend them.
