All known locations (according to Second Life '''"Places"''' search) for server storage are shown here.
These are locations specifically set up as dedicated, additional ("co-location") hosting for DropBoxes and other servers, rather than add-ons to residential, commercial shop, or club parcels.

='''<span style="color:#00528c">Where should you store?</span>'''=
That depends entirely upon whether the items you are selling are copiable TO YOU, THE MERCHANT (AND you keep a copy in your inventory!) or not.
If you are selling items such as gacha prizes, breedables, or other no-copy-to-you things that you have received, then you are at the best advantage on a MAINLAND hosting location.
Why?
Because if the storage/hosting provider on a mainland location closes up shop, at worst, your items will just be sent back to your lost and found in a clump. You'll have to rez and separate them, but at least you will HAVE them.
However, If you have rented space on an island, and the provider closes up shop and drops the island? Your items are just...GONE. No retrieval, no second chances.
That is why the list is now divided into mainland vs island locations.
='''<span style="color:#00528c">Why do the restart days matter?</span>'''=
Because if you have your dropboxes on 3 different regions, and they're all restarting on the same day, they could all be down at the same time - which could make your sales fail.
For best results, choose a storage provider where the sim/region has a restart day that is '''different''' from the one your main dropbox location is on. This helps combat delivery issues due to a single sim either being restarted at the time of delivery attempts, or the sim/region just not listening to the internet for delivery instructions at the moment.
<s>Unfortunately, in 2020, the Lindens decided to make ALL the server code names '''THE SAME''' - so there's no easy way to tell which is which anymore, you'll need to ALREADY know what day the sim restarts on.</s>
As of April 2024, the region names are BACK!
:* "Second Life Server" = Tuesday restart
:* "Second Life RC LeTigre/BlueSteel/Magnum" = Wednesday restarts
