Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Colocation and Data Centers : NoVa/MD/DC co-lo with Mac backup

[Impact]

Can anyone help me find a reasonably priced co-lo for 1U of rackspace with back-up services to a Macintosh client? My server is an Apple G5 Xserve (not Intel-based). The Apple kernel = BSD Unix and I'm told a standard Unix agent will work. I can use the base package for bandwidth, but would want a burstable solution. My business is in Washington, DC so a co-lo in Northern Virginia, suburban Maryland/Baltimore/Annapolis, or DC would work...within 30 miles of DC I guess. Thanks!

What do you define as reasonably priced? NoVA/DC has traditionally been on the very high end of the price range due to the location.

Try,

www.yellowfiber.net

www.myriadnetwork.com

Both are good companies to work with. Myriad is in Ashburn at Equinix, Yellowfiber is in Reston at Switch & Data.

Thanks so much for the referrals. I had been referred to PTPTech, Beza.net, Defender Hosting and Carpathia, all at Equinix in Ashburn. I was referred to Defender and Carpathia by Bob Spiegel via QuoteColo.com. Not being much of a techie, I found the QuoteColo service very helpful.

Again, I really appreciate your help...especially since you're in a position to know who has what and does what in the area.
