[lug] Suggested Colo's in Boulder, managed hosting?

[Eric Peers]

Thanks for the info Bear. I am curious why you said
that Full Hosting/Managed Hosting is superior to
colocation? I've heard a similar opinion from others -
basically because managing DNS and other services is a
pain. Is this why you recommend against full
colocation?

Thanks!
