Geography ? Load ?  If you'r looking for a personal server, local,
periodicaly hardware self serviced in USA, just rack hosting (or
jailed, shared, low end business) perhaps ask who's nearest on world
list freebsd-isp@freebsd.org

If a dedicated server in Munich Germany could be OK, 
(any of i386/amd64 &/or some Suns, with any BSD you want,
esp. FreeBSD-5.3, try: http://www.bsn.com/Request.html
