I'm not sure what you're looking for, or what your price range is, but I have found that leasing a server can be a far better deal than collocating your own. I currently lease a server from <a href="http://xlhost.com">xlhost.com</a> for around $60 a month. That gets me a dedicated server (not a shared virtual machine, an actual box), 1TB of traffic a month, 10Mbps dedicated up/down connection, 5 static IP addresses, and your os of choice.<br>
<br>I realize this may be overkill for what you need, but in my opinion its better than colocating.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 4:36 PM, Mike Miller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mbmiller@taxa.epi.umn.edu">mbmiller@taxa.epi.umn.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Is what I need called a "colo" (colocation) center? Whether it is called<br>
that or not, who should I go to in the twin cities for this kind of<br>
service?<br>
