agreed, though not as much of an issue if they've got their own facility.

yeah, quite true.  i'm all for dealing with someone that's upfront about
stuff.  however, i'm alittle less skeptical about this particular issue.  as
i've mentioned, there are valid reasons for not disclosing this sort of
setup.  i mean, it's not quite a dedicated server in the hardware sense, but
it's certainly not the same as a virtual private server either.  it's kind
of in that nebulous zone leaning quite a ways more towards the side of
dedicated.

actually, if i read the response to martin, it appears colocation is an
option with this guy.

why do you think we're nowhere near colocation atm?
