[ale] Reliable Hosting Service Providers

[Steve Tynor]

I'm looking for some recommendations for application hosting services. 
My client will be hosting a large J2EE system that will require at least 
one weblogic based compute server and an oracle database server. We're 
looking for reliable service with good SLA's, a good reputation for data 
security, etc.  The identity of the hosting service will probably be 
important to our target customers, so we're willing to consider paying a 
bit extra for a "name" service with a good reputation.  Administrative 
services to offload some application level monitoring and administration 
(database and appserver health monitoring, db tuning, etc.) are definite 
plusses.

For non-business-critical hosting, I've been very happy with 
totalchoicehosting.com -- cheap, reliable and does what i need for 
simple web site and email.  But I'm looking for something with more meat 
behind it for a business critical, custom application hosting sensitive 
customer data.

Recommendations of where to start?

Thanks,
Steve
