I've done a few Google searches and found a few good links

http://www.andy.net/colo.php (Being the best)

But, does anyone know any more companies that offer dedicated hosting or colocation in Atlanta? More specifically in or around downtown Atlanta (55/56 Marietta or surrounding areas)

That's a pretty out of date and limited list.

Check out GNAX: http://www.gnax.net

A top notch company with mostly great reviews on these forums.

can't go wrong with gnax or most anyone in 55/56 although as always do your research. Even in good facilities like these there are still some bad apples.

We colo with GNAX and a number of other providers and would recomend GNAX heavily :)

there is a list at the bottom of all the carriers in 56 marrietta you may find a couple providers you can use in that list http://www.telx.com/carriers.cfm , also telx themselves sell colo.

this was just recently discussed in one of the colo threads, for anything small (1 rack or less) direct telx colo is just cost prohibitive. I'd stick with someone who is already in the facility

Global Compass / CyberWurx - highly recommended

Just a refresher in my colo costs estimates

From: http://www.gnax.net/colo/index.php

Rack rental
-- $25 / mnth for 1U
Connectivity
-- Unmetered 10mb line: $400 / mnth
-- Metered 100mb line
---- I'm paying for 95% utilization so if I used all 10mb I would be paying $790 / mnth

What about the power costs at the bottom of the page? I would probably be using a HP DL360 as the hardware.

Would you consider these prices to be an OK average cost for colocation? I'm saying +/- 15% guesses.

We have been using GNAX for 2 years and you can't go wrong with Jeff's team.

Another vote for Gnax and Co. Highly recommended.

Hmm..

Are http://www.tranxactglobal.com/ and GNAX the same company?

They share forums and have similar contact information.

I assume GNAX does colo and TranxActGlobal does dedicated servers?

It looks like I'll be going with one of the two once I make the dedicated vs. colo decsion.

Can someone reconfirm my math above?

You are right, it's the same company.
