There are a lot of data centers out there, in fact way too many to easily make a decision. Each datacenter has its own quirks, advantages, and disadvantages. I have had the opportunity to work with many datacenters in the past few years. I am going to list just a few of the ones that we have worked with.


While I am very biased we generally suggest going with an unmanaged provider then getting a help from a third party company, such as mine TotalServerSolutions. This as many advantages, if you ever are dis-satisfied with either the datacenter or management company you can change while still keeping continuity with at least one. If you go with a datacenter that does everything it may be harder.
