Recommendations for lowend dedicated server/colo shops

What's wrong with a locked rack in a locked closet with a DSL circuit 
and a UPS?

Worked for a decade or so (minus DSL) just fine; still does. DSL just 
makes it cheaper.

Worried about security? Add an alarm system and a webcam or two.

Put it right on the customer's premises. If they need 24x365 Internet 
access, you can always pull additional DSL lines from competing 
providers. You'll still be saving them a few thousand a month; make sure 
they know that.

YMMV.
