One of our sites is called Colo Crossing, the other Hostopia. While they are not my divisions, I am an IT Ops Manager and have ties into them. I can find some good POC's and get some info.

People in the Southwest are too busy out enjoying all those wide-open spaces...

In the NE we need forums to talk about how to repair all the issues the climate has caused, and talk about driving out to the southwest...

I think Central US is probably going to be best. The latency between DFW or ORD and the east coast is not bad enough to be noticed, but an east cost hosting location would be crappy for west coast folks.

I'm looking at a smaller regional telco back in Kansas that has a good colo facility and is on the KS fiber ring that ties into Hurricane Electric's backbone (among others). Also looking at Linode DFW. Linode will be cheap and stretch our hosting dollars but big public clouds always scare me a little because they can delete your instances (intentionally or through technical error) and you don't have much recourse.
