Once again I come to Cologroups defence. You can either listen to all of the naysayers out there that are bashing Cologroup, and yet have never hosted with them. Or you can listen to me...I do use cologroup...my sites are down right now...and yet I still have absolute faith in Cologroup. And yes, this is costing me significant coin right now .... my server on Cologroup runs a consistent 7 - 10 mbps...so for now my traffic is lost...but shit happens...Cologroup looks after it when it does...as I mentioned previously 2 outages for me in 6 months is acceptable and above the standard that you will receive from a number of other hosts.

To really put weight behind my statement...I also host with Carinet ...the owners of the Cologroup (and Phatservers) datacentre. I have a merchant account, so I could set up my own network for much less then what I pay Cologroup to do it for. And yet I pay Colgroup. Why, because on page to page tests, the folks at Cologroup have been able to tweak their servers to usually get about a 25 to 35% better resolve time. Same network..same servers...just better techs...that alone makes it worthwhile to host at Cologroup.
