In reference to U.S datacenters specifically, how do i zoom in my seach for reliable and stable datacenter?

What all things do i need to look for?
I usually ignore how many sq. feet their floor area is or similar details. Do they help?
Datacenter Size isn't exactly the most impportant aspect to consider. In fact smaller datacenters tend to be better than larger ones because they have more interest in your welfare than a larger provider. However a larger provider tends to have a larger revenue stream for better performance, so really you are looking for a balance.

The Next Generation of Reliable Dedicated Servers is......... Softlayer.com However what is your budget?
