[AusNOG] US Colo ?

[David Hughes]

Hey prk,

If you are happy using someone else's servers rather than shipping  
your own then I've had a good long-term experience with A-Plus  (www.aplus.net 
).  Their server pricing makes using your own look like a bad option  
unless you have very specific requirements.
