[sllug-members]: Data Centers

[Adam Barrett]

This is for a personal server... yeah... personal.

I don't need a lot of bells and whistles... so as far as that goes
looks mean nothing!

I want to put my server somewhere that i know it is going to be online
when I need it.

Other than that... fast connection is good, reliable is great!

Thanks for the list of places and your thoughts on them.
