Hosting/data center business for plan B?

[chef]

This looks the dogs danglies but I can't see why anyone would need that much physical security?

maybe if your porn stash really is that good and you dont want prying eyes looking into it or poking around your server?

You need a USP

Some mates of mine set up an ISP about 7 years ago. Not making a great amount of money but surviving.

They have dedicated space in a VERY secure data centre (they know a man etc) and that is their selling point, to actually create a data centre costs a lot of money.

Too many 'become an ISP in a day' offers out there to supply mediocre or non niche services.

Obviously IMHO, but to compete you need something special.

Years too late?

Is it? I thought a bit of decentralisation would help the quality of service nowadays...

Any successful story here? Too risky? Too small margins? Anybody else has ever consider it?

I think there is actually a company called "Plan B" that does this kind of stuff already. Will attach a linky if I get round to finding it.
