seemed a little ostentatious (Score 4, Insightful)

I used to do some work for clients who had their systems at exodus and I found that it all seemed a little over the top. I've never understood why a datacenter needs 12 confrence rooms (or any for that matter... it's an OutSourced Datacenter, not a Marriot), bullet proof glass in the lobby, redundancy beyond reason - generators with enough fuel and power to run for 120 days at FULL load???? If the power is down for 6 months, chances are there's more important things to deal with than your website.
Also, when I was shopping around for my own hoster, Exodus (while _extremely_ nice) didn't even bother trying to price within a budget. It was if they had been so used to getting blind VC money, that they didn't even understand the phrase, "I can't afford that." I don't know, just my opinion....
