I believe that nightmare and misery are two adjectives I would apply to 
my experiences with managed hosting services. Having more than one 
person (or I guess group of people) with root on a box doesn't work.

For straight colo, peer1.net has a pretty good facility at 1 Yonge St. 
They offer 1/8th rack cabinets, which, I think, are about 6U. Last I 
checked, their rates were reasonable.

For a serious discussion on the subject, you need to say what kind of 
hardware you're looking to host, and how much bandwidth you're going to 
use. You probably also want to mention what you're looking to achieve by 
putting a box in co-lo. You mentioned in other posts
