I'm new to this group but I know Geoff and he mentioned that someone was looking for co-location space. I run hosting company http://www.anchor.com.au/ and we'd be interested in supporting the initiative. I agree with many of Mike's comments on the virtues of a virtualised service vs physical hardware and certainly think that this is the direction the industry is heading in. Anchor has a large amount of co-location space in GlobalSwitch in Sydney and could offer space there to house a server. Alternately, and to be honest it would be our preference, would be to provide a few VPS. Our offering is implemented using VMware ESX. To allay your concerns about security and accessibility you have the option of building your own virtual machine and simply shipping us the disc image, furthermore, in your case I'd be happy to commit to providing you with a copy of the disc image in future if you chose to move the service elsewhere. If you're interested please feel free to contact me.
