Which is the better deal? Ventures online colocated or dedicated? I only have 16 domains so far pretty new but I want to get my own box to avoid spammer problems / or at least have some control of them caused by others.

A dedicated box is a lot more also but colocation I'm not sure what level of help I would get, not that I can't figure it out just since I'm not by the server I want to make sure things are monitored / upgraded as needed / and generally just taken care of on both ends.

Whats the best way to go here? or are there other cpanel houses that are better?

Personally I would go with Dedicated. They take care of the hardware, if something goes wrong they fix it for you. If you need help with the box you get their support.

For colocated....if anything goes wrong with the hardware...you're on your own with replacing it...

I would go with dedicated but they are not taking anymore dedicated signups until June.

I think if you are a current customer you can still get one. AFAIK they aren't taking new dedicated signups until June...

As Far as I Know

Check out that Acronyms thread at the top of the lounge if you need to know what all the other "lingo" means ;)
