UKFSN offers coloaction and I can extend that to cover some extra support 
however I would need a more accurate description of the requirement.

What reaction do you want to hardware failures?

Do you want the provider to replace the failed kit within a specified time 
period? If so what is the required time period?

Will you provide hot swap equipment to be stored at the providers 
premises? If not do you expect the provider to provide this equipment or 
will you ship it to them?

You say you will do the admin. Will you want any software or admin support 
from the provider?

Are you running Apache2 (default with RH9) and if so is it a concsious 
decision?
