Service problems were a common event in the early days of server colocation. The equipment was relatively new and there were problems as a result. During the dot com boom, it was common for server colocation corporations to over promise. They were not doing well financially and this lead to bad deal making. Many of those hosting companies went out of business with the bust in dot com.
What is the current state of server colocation services? There are certainly still companies that over promise and under deliver. But on the norm, enough time has passed that the good companies have sorted themselves from the bad. Additionally, many of the technical failures that plagued early hosting companies are no longer an issue. Much of the core routing and load balancing equipment has been through many versions of development.
Another new technology in the server colocation space is virtualization. With virtualization hosting companies are able to deliver much more reliable server hosting. This has brought the costs of server hosting down. While you will still find in house data centers at the big companies, people are generally more secure with the idea of outsourced colocation.
