[oclug] Co-location / hosting environments (Damian Gerow)

[Ross Jordan]

I've been using www.tera-byte.com for the last 3 years and generally been
happy with them. For low bandwidth servers, they are very affordable and 
have decent prices for scaling up. Also, the people working there have
good linux/Unix knowledge. I'm not doing the same kind of sustained
transfer rates the original poster needed, so I can't comment on that.
They are based in Edmonton.

Tech support quality is of a minimal concern, but price and available bandwidth will be my top two concerns, in that order.  The machine will start out as a DNS server, but may eventuall spawn into a Tor/Freenet/mixminion/mixmaster node as well (and possibly just straight mail), depending on bandwidth pricing, and whether the hosting environment is crypto-friendly.
