My clans server has been colocated with them for the last 3 years. Set up was straightforward, they supplied IP details and settings which I then preset before taking the server to their server house. They CAN set it up from scratch for you, but WILL charge to do so. I met one of their engineers there and within a few minutes the server was up and running.Since then in the 3 years its been with them, its 'downtime' has been restricted to 1 day, for which I received a week of credit. Reason for downtime was given as a DOS (denial of service) attack on the server house. We were credited with a weeks use for that.Others have offered service but none could match them in terms of connection,cost and availability.
Our on line gaming clan has members in : Croatia,Ireland,Sweden,Holand,Italy, Scotland,America and Belgium. All have great connectivity and pings.Server City DO charge for hands on restarts (in common with other companies) the moral is set up your server BEFORE colocating it, DON'T do things to it that will cause it to lock up necessitating a hands on restart and you won't get biilled. recently contacted by another company offering a simailar colocation deal.......they wanted nearly twice as much, for the same job. I'm a cautious person, my server is colocated with them and works well with good connectivity, latency and ping. Would I move it elsewhere?. Nope.
