We are using Peak10, although our experience is too short to have much
feedback at this point.
It might be interesting to see a list of pros and cons about cloud
computing vs colocation, if anyone has built one.
Here's a couple of interesting articles:

I've had good experience with CBTS (CinBell) and Profitability.net,
which some have mentioned.
I'll add to the list of local collocation companies: Peak10 and
3z.net. Can't speak for these.
You might consider VPS solutions, like Slicehost and others.
Cloud is the future, I've heard.
