Just curious... I'm based up in Sheffield, UK and if I ever get to the stage of collocating then I'd really want the box nearby so that I could tear it down myself and get it back up again.

Does anyone know of any collocation providers within a reasonable distance and I'm afraid no "London" is not what I consider within that radius... Nor is the USA ;)

Any suggestions would be useful...

Thanks

Look in the Yellow Pages for local ISP's who offer this... you should find a few

ROFLOL... Doh! Ain't it amazing that we forget so darned quick about the old "paper" resources we used to use...

Thanks for that..

Try Donhosts (www.donhost.co.uk)
They are based in Doncaster which is not very far away from you, i think.
Im sure there is another company in manchester but i cant for the life of me, remember the name at this moment in time!

If i find out i will post it.

Maybe read into http://www.uk2.net colocation options ;) and Demon have some good prices on bandwidth for colocation, you might find yourself in for a pleasant shock.

Try http://www.legend.co.uk they are based in Bradford which is not far.

Donhost.... Yeah right mate...


Try

http://www.gemsoft.net

As used by donhost

or

http://www.caladan.net

Not used any of them so............

they are close to where he is. They have their own NOC now.. However since they took away their support 24/7 would be a bad idea now :o)
You could try xcalibre who are based in scotland but its 6 and 2 x 3's isnt it between london and scotland from u isnt it?

Thanks for all the suggestions though people. For now I have found 2 plans reseller plans that suit my more immediate needs perfectly and for the next 12 months they should more than suit my customers too.

Thanks again.

Oh that's interesting... I know the Gemsoft guys in the hardware/software store... I guess that would be an option to consider in the not to distant future.
