[SideShowBob]

Can anyone recommend a good colocation host for hosting a trading server?

How much are you willing to spend on this? You can colo at the NYSE or Nasdaq.

If I had an ATS that would run Linux-based, I might look at using Amazon's Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2) as a budget option. It's more for those who have some technical knowledge. It's robust in that it's the same infrastructure that handles Amazon's business.

ec2 has tons of issues, from data mapping with S3 to latency. It's not ready for production applications.
