A Data center In dallas is pretty good,infact one In the states Is enough If you need a Global reach.

Colo4Dallas and Sago Networks are the two datacenters I can recommend.

Itsn't there more to just a datacenter? i mean i could be a nice or good datacenter but charge outrageous prices for bandwidth/.

Peer1 - has lots of data centers to choose from - not known for hosting - but we have over 100 servers spread accross 3 data centers in the US and have worked out a great relationship now - so we have Gig-E private back bone to all our servers and we have our own class C that they help manage - for one server not sure as they are pricey - we did a massive migration a few years back and they have been excellent -- in the UK we blue square and the dury is still out on that one for now --

I want to add some to this list

Burstnet
Peer1

I second ThePlanet. They are very good at what they do. If you are in the Houston area, take a look inside their corporate office downtown.

We have servers at The Planet, Liquid Web and Net Depot - Atlanta. All have been solid and no issues. When it comes down to fairness in price I like Net Depot's buy down approach. You can put more money up front on set up to bring the monthly price including buy downs on hard drives and memory. They offer a fair buy down price that is not inflated.

Customer service for all three have been excellent and not once have we found something to complain about. Liquid Web does pack great support built in to their price.

I use marquisnet.com and I love em! Just wanted to add them to the list

not sure if its been added but if not, BlueSquare, a great UK datacenter.. a lot of hosting including myself are based there and many UK game server providers

Theplanet, Gigenet and Rackspace has some nice datacenters

With so many great data centers to select from, it all boils down to which one matches your specific set of requirements. Are you looking for reduced latency? Do speed tests on each - compare their bandwidth pricing. Maybe the rack pricing makes up for the difference in bandwidth, or visa versa.

I always liked SoftLayer. But, I've ran into issues regarding there abuse department - they have some moron working there.

I second it, i always like softlayer ( currently we dont have servers with them) my next choice will be superb.net for reliability

We add datacenter we use currently:

Hong Kong Datacentres
Sunnyvision Limited

Malaysia Datacentres
Piradius Datacentre

Singapore Datacentres
Singtel Datacentre
Qala Datacentre


USA Datacentres
Convergent Network Services
PEER 1

Europe Datacentres
TelecityGroup - The Netherlands
BlueSquare - UK
intergenia - Germany

I've got to place a vote for Softlayer. I've been with a few places over the years and they just won me over for all my new nodes.
