Posted December 17, 200618 yr Well I used to know this guy who built his own server and took it to a 'data center' I think. I've done some googling but not too many good hits. Is that what it is called? Are they expensive? Would I be worried if I had to install some pirated bussines OS? I mainly wanna have it for a game server like css or dods. Thanks.
December 17, 200618 yr # Also called a NOC (Network Operations Center), a datacenter is a physical center from where networks are managed. Typically, a datacenter has hundreds or even thousands of Web servers with multiple connections to the backbone, and power backup systems. webhostingrevealed.com/glossary.htm # A data center is a facility used for housing a large amount of electronic equipment, typically computers and communications equipment. As the name implies, a data center is usually maintained by an organization for the purpose of handling the data necessary for its operations. A bank for example may have a data center, where all its customers' account information is maintained and transactions involving this data are carried out. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datacenter http://www.metacolo.com/papers/dc11-havenco/photos/datacenter-max-populated.jpg http://www.python.org/files/success/rackspace/datacenter.jpg http://www.gnax.net/img/datacenter/8big.jpg

If you're doing co-location (you take your own server down and hook it up to their network), it's up to YOU what you want to install on your server, not them. However I would still not go there with a warezed OS on it, just get Linux, it's free and setting up a css/dods server is piss.
