I have a server at tera-byte.com, the 15Gb rate.
http://web.tera-byte.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=services.colocated

It's a great place, reliable power and network.   It's a real data
center, with 24-hour staffing, and a 800 number for support that is
answered 24/7 by an onsite human.

One time I was playing and I crashed my server (I know, not the best thing
to do when the server is 2000 miles away, and the only access is via ssh). 
I sent an email to the support desk, asking for help.  Two or three minutes
later I got a reply saying that the were in the process of hooking a local
console up to my server.  The tech sent me another update a few minutes
later saying the server was in fsck and that he "would stay with it
until it came back up".  This was the only support request I ever had
to make with them in the 4 years my server has been there.  There was no
charge for the tech's time.


Stay away from ciHost.  I had nothing but bad experiences with them.

P.S.  Now when I want to play, I use the server in my basement....
