Charlotte Colo does, I have dedicated servers.
Just so MOST of you are aware, almost EVERY hosting company mentioned in this thread is NOTHING more then a rack or two of dedicated servers in someones datacenter.
In fact the trend that I have seen is the people open up maybe 2 or 4 U of servers space, install Hsphere and claim to have a massive data center.
Many times i click on a web host link on this board only to see it say
" Our services are located in Texas and our data center is located in BumFuck Egypt."
That should be a big tip off right there that they really dont have a data center, all they really have is 1 or 2 servers IN a data center.
Anyone can get a box hosted in a data center, its the BEST webhost you can actually get.
If you know linux or know someone who will remote admin your box for you, theres no reason to even BUY hosting ANYWHERE.
Simply make a server, call up the data center, and send them your server.
ALMOST EVERY SINGLE hosting company I see in sigs on this board is nothing more then just that, a 1U or 2U server in a data center. Is it their data center? Fuck no, but they do try and say it is
OC192, fastest connection available to man right now.
UUNET
Sprint
Verio
AOL
Time Warner Telecom
Charlotte Colo ( Verio South)
Everyone else says Multiple OC38's and crap, they get their bandwidth FROM the places above.
