Sure, but if something goes wrong with your colocated server, you're supposed to fix it yourself, aren't you? So it feels kinda important that the datacenter is close enough so you could get there quickly on a short notice. I'm imagining having to fly several hours and cross borders just to replace a failed hard drive, all while your server is down.

You can use "remote hands" service to some extent. For example: http://www.he.net/tour/Fremont_2_220_Remote_Hands_Service.ht...

You could leave a stack of HDDs and other consumables in your server cabinet for them.
