Overview
What is data center colocation?
Data center colocation means placing servers and network equipment you own in a third-party data center. The colocation data center provides space, redundant power, cooling, physical security and carrier connectivity. You keep full control of your hardware and software.
Colocation is a middle path between running your own server room and moving everything to the cloud. You avoid the cost of building a facility, get better uptime than most office server rooms, and keep predictable monthly costs.
- Redundant power, cooling and physical security from day one
- Carrier-neutral connectivity and cross connects
- You own the hardware; we help run it
Compare
Colocation vs on-premise vs cloud
Colocation
You own the servers; the facility provides power, cooling, security and bandwidth. Predictable monthly cost and high uptime.
On-premise server room
Full control, but you pay for power backup, cooling, security and upkeep yourself, and uptime depends on your building.
Public cloud
No hardware to own and quick to scale, but costs can grow with usage and some workloads are better on dedicated hardware.

FAQs
Data center colocation FAQs
Data Center Colocation FAQs
What is colocation in a data center?
Colocation means placing your own servers and network equipment in a third-party data center, which provides space, power, cooling, security and connectivity.
How is colocation priced?
Colocation is usually priced by rack space (rack units or full racks), power drawn, bandwidth and any extra services such as remote hands. We share a clear monthly quote.
Is colocation better than cloud hosting?
It depends on the workload. Colocation suits steady workloads on hardware you own and want to control. Cloud suits variable workloads that need to scale quickly. Many businesses use both.
What are remote hands services?
Remote hands are on-site engineers who carry out physical tasks for you, such as reboots, cable changes and part swaps, so you do not need to travel to the facility.
Can you move our servers into colocation?
Yes. We plan and carry out the full move, including packing, transport, re-racking, cabling and testing.
