<<3) the switching costs are small>>
Only if duplicate servers are affordable for the company which rent the space.
One have to duplicate everything, from hardware to software
to switch to another "provider". No easy task.

IDC-Providers are in a services game because they are comparable to following businesses:
rent a room (cage, box etc.),
rent a sysop (reboot computer, restart services) optional,
rent a technician (computer need sometimes repairs) optional,
rent a security guard (entry guarding),
sell bandwidth (getting IP-Adresses, Internetconnection),
rent a consultant (how to use e-commerce etc.) optional.

Did I forgot any service?
