Collins, my comments are purely technical. I'm sure marketing@kdn would love to help you out on the pricing, though I suspect you should contact them first :)
Interesting you commented on swift/KDN yet you have never used them.

If I can answer based on what I have used--KDN co-location services are excellent. What you need mostly in a data centre is to be able to reach your servers or whatever you are hosting, and their uptime has been very impressive. For the few downtimes experienced, the response is fast.
ps:
I have bashed KDN many times before for their customer service and responsiveness on link related issues, but I give them 4.5/5 stars on data centre.
I have not used the rest.On Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 9:28 PM, [ Brainiac ] <arebacollins@gmail.com> wrote:@theus, ill give you my 2 cents of wisdom from past experience:
swift <=> KDN. Bad customer service, (unresponsive is actually the word).
Wananchi => Basically lots of complaints about how they dont even respond.
MTN Business: => Known theme for a while, somewhat serious on what they do (been a while since i engaged them though) but a bit pricey.
Safaricom: => Bl@@dy CAPITALISTS, theyll probably give you a good service but youll even pay for the temperature youll increase by walking into the datacenter to swap a drive.
Access: No Idea, never used them ever.
Guess that leaves you with one of three options:
1: Sell the hardware and get yourself something pretty sitting on the cloud.
2: Set it up at your house, get Internet links from all these guys and manage it from home.
3: Use a non ISP (some of the companies mentioned here that are not selling bandwidth) cause chances are they might have a little more time and effort on offering something good...

swift definitely i will avoid like a plague, if just changing domain name servers leads to all out misery , what would happen with co-located servers?

Swiftglobal also offer the service but be forewarned when they go down you can even feel the thud a thousand miles away......_______________________________________________
