Co-Location would be recommended. Many smaller Colocation providers have offices on site that you can rent also, so you're right there beside your servers when needed too.

I'd be very wary operating in a method like this. There's a number of threads here in the forum where people are operating servers from their homes, and what the costs and problems are faced by doing something like that.
Agreed. Running a "datacenter" is just not profitable nor safe from any standpoint unless for some reason you have redundant power supplies from two different sources and plenty of bandwidth.

Colocating would be the smarter and more cost effective thing to do. Look for a colocation center near you on http:/datacentermap.com

Better safe then sorry!
