[UPHPU] Utah Colocation

[Velda Christensen]

Have you thought about just getting a dedicated server instead of 
colocating?  I'm not a fan of VPS as many VPS hosts put caps on your 
resource usage that can cause a few headaches..   And we've found  as a 
hosting company that colo often just turns out to be more expensive than 
the alternatives...  If you've got someone dealing with hardware FOR 
you, there's really no reason not to mange everything remotely, so you 
wouldn't even really need someone in SLC.
