I've been in the colocation and web hosting business for 11 years and Lakota Data Center is the worst "mickey mouse" operation I've ever seen. No communication between accounting and operations, the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Security there is a joke, which is a huge concern considering the fact that a large bulk of their business is colocation and they are entrusted with millions of dollars of other people's equipment. I've walked in on numerous occasions to find other people's racks wide open with absolutely no attention given to what the people inside the data center are doing. I regularly installed and removed equipment and to my dismay nobody even bothered to check if it was actually mine. I know all this because being a local client I see all this with my own eyes. It's important that unsuspecting online customers are aware of this company that is run like kindergarten class. On the financial side, they don't have their own credit card accounts and will take your money via 3rd party services and claim they never got it and disconnect you. Your better off with the legitimate large companies as their rates aren't any lower but their security is non-existant and so are their brains.
