    Colocation forum...

    Any plans to create a colo forum to accompany the web hosting and dedicated forums? This would really help, as it could be a niche section where people could talk about DCs and buying/building hardware without the threads getting lost amont the many threads in the dedicated forum.

    Thanks,
    Josh

    Would be interesting just too read too, gives a lot of people the idea of how an DC is actually setup and run!

    Yeah - It would definitly shine the light on topics such as router setup that haven't been mentioned much, as well as stable server configs. I'm having a tough time figuring out which motherboard I'd use when setting up a basic server with an AMD XP 1800+ processor... I'm sure a colo forum could help me better on that.

    I'm interested too. Not as a sub forum though, its really kindof independant of everything else.

    Why not use the link that's at the bottom of every page?

    I'd like to see a sub-forum, but don't see a seperate forum all together. To be honest, I don't think there would be a big enough interest in Colocation to make a whole new forum dedicated to it.
    A well-reasoned assumption is very close to fact.

    There's be a big enough interest.

    Some would say; it's spelled co-location.

    Others will say; colocation.

    Still others will add; collocation.

    I'd just call it the Colo Forum and be done with it.
