The deal sounds very good.  I did forget to mention dedicated servers,
they are a good company with lots of bandwidth.  Their US operations is
the only one I am familiar with.  That sounds like a good deal listed
above.

Well depending on your colocatition agreement, you do have a copy don't
you?  Did you sign a contract?  It should outline exactly what is your
responsibility and what is theirs.  If we lease/rent/sell a server to you,
we will provide free labor on part replacement.  However if it is a
configuration error and your bring the server down you will pay a minimum
of $75 an hour.

they will do for you, then yes it is completely reasonable.
