ok so im almost got my 1U server ready little config testing left to do but most is ready

Main Questions
1.Shipping server is there anything i should be worried about? Customs etc should i ship it under anonymous name etc etc has anybody in warwez server hosting business encountered issues when shipping there servers from USA to offshore hosts?

2.Best base linux OS to run on server? will be using solus vm and whcms on top of that.

3.security precautions should i take for the moment?? the server is more for personal use once i get used to it im rent out small vpses to friends

4.Those of you who actually co-locate your servers advice suggestions?
some advised i should look into smart DC and ecatel although i hear ecatel is not quality people to work with looked into mhost and hostkey not sure who i want to use tbh. preferably host with quality fast English support and 1000mbps port none of this slow 10/100mbps (at that speed might as well co-locate at my house and use reverse proxy hosting)


any help is greatly appreciated still ahve a week or so before ill be able to ship it off
