Linux friendly co-location in the Phoenix area

[George Toft]

Have you considered Virtual Private Servers (VPS)?  Many web hosting 
companies offer VPS for cheap.  I've had mine for almost 2 years and it 
runs almost like a dedicated system (I can't change the system time or 
alter the file systems).  I have mail, web, dns, etc running on it. 
These places usually offer a wide range of distros - my next VPS will be 
CentOS4.  The cost ranges from $20-100/month - I'm paying about 
$350/year.  I don't think you'll find a colo for that price and the 
bandwidth is great.

Check out spry.com - they seem to be on the lower (not lowest) end of 
the price spectrum and they have a special this month.  I'm not 
recommending nor dis'ing them.
