I am interested in this info, too, in the general "I hope to need it, but don't yet" sense.
Also, is there a place where people discuss colo-environments and related issues? Or a site that keeps track of them?

I am more interested in email friendly. I have an idea that involves sending slightly or mostly different info to members, depending on a list of things they want to track. So maybe a few dozen emails per week to start, with possible rampup to dozens of thousands per day.

And, no, I don't have time to implement this project.

I'm looking for a good co-lo / hosting place.

It can be either physical co-lo, or a virtual machine, but I'd need full root access on the box in question.  Tech support quality is of a minimal concern, but price and available bandwidth will be my top two concerns, in that order.  The machine will start out as a DNS server, but may eventuall spawn into a Tor/Freenet/mixminion/mixmaster node as well (and possibly just straight mail), depending on bandwidth pricing, and whether the hosting environment is crypto-friendly.

If all goes to plan, I'd be looking to eventually sustain at least ~4Mbps, with bursts up to 10Mbps, which is a big pain point for most hosting providers: sustaining that kind of traffic means I'll be doing >2Tb/month (>316GB/mo).

Any Linux/BSD-friendly places out there with which people have had good experiences, that offer decent rates, and have reasonable co-lo agreements?
