What colocation usually includes
Your hardware, a real data center, a small monthly bill
Already own a server? Colocation is often the cheapest way to run it properly: no surprise usage bills, and the box stays yours.
Clean, backed-up power
Data center power is normally backed by batteries and generators, not a closet outlet.
Real bandwidth
A proper network port and your own IP addresses, far beyond an office line.
Security and cooling
Controlled access, cameras and cooling built for servers running all day.
Remote hands
Ship your server and have it racked, or ask staff to reboot or swap a drive.
Flexible terms
Month-to-month is often possible for small footprints. Longer terms usually cost less.
You own the box
No lock-in to someone else's hardware. Move it, upgrade it, sell it when you like.

What is colocation, in plain words?
You own the server; a data center gives it a home. You get a slot in a rack, power, cooling, a network connection and physical security, and you pay a monthly fee for the space and power you use.
What does 1U, 2U or a quarter rack mean?
A "U" is one rack unit, 1.75 inches of height in a standard rack. Most small servers are 1U or 2U. A quarter rack is roughly 10U behind its own locked door, enough for a few servers and a switch.
Why don't you show prices on every deal?
We only show a price when the operator has given it to us in writing. Colocation prices change with power, bandwidth and term, so for most listings the honest answer is a quote. Tell us what you need and we come back with real numbers.
How much power do I need?
One or two small servers usually fit in the smallest power option a facility offers. If you are unsure, pick "Not sure" on the form and tell us the server model; we size it with you.
Can I ship my server instead of bringing it in?
Usually, yes. Many facilities accept a shipped server and rack it for you with their remote-hands team, sometimes for a one-time fee. Choose "Ship it, they rack it" on the form and we will ask for that.
Tell us what you need. We find the cheap slot.
One short form: space, power, bandwidth and budget. We ask the operators and come back with real prices, usually within one business day.
