At my start-up, we're getting to the point where we should be hosting our servers at a data center. I'd appreciate any tips and tricks y'all can offer on finding a reputable place to colocate our racks.

  • Are there any Web sites with customer reviews of data centers or should I just be asking around at techie events?
  • Are unlimited bandwidth plans a gimmick or becoming the norm?
  • Is it worth establishing a redundant set of machines at a second data center from Day One? Or just do offsite back-ups?

Thanks for your suggestions.
