Server Colocation Hosting That is Reliable & Secure
We provide physical space and take care of your server.
Colocation can be the most powerful form of hosting as you choose and own the server, so it can be as high-performance as you want.
With colocation, you retain control over the design and usage of the equipment, but daily management of the Data Centre facilities is fulfilled by us, the colocation provider.
With our server colocation services, we provide you with internet access, power, cooling, physical security, and space for your server.

All of this with a minimum of cost and complexity.

Save Money on Colocation
Only Pay For The Power You Use
As you know electricity is getting more and more expensive, so we want to reward people with the most efficient servers by charging them less.
To do this we only charge you for the power that you use.
Our systems take regular readings and we work out how much to charge. You can save money by choosing an efficient server for your colocation. We have put together a list to help you.
What impacts how much power a server uses:
- Age
- Older servers are generally less efficient, so use more power. This also means they run hotter and require more cooling.
- CPU usage
- If a server is carrying out complex calculations it will use more CPU and therefore more power. However, a high proportion of servers are idle for a lot of the time.
- Hard Drives
- A server with a lot of busy hard drives will use more electricity than one with a similar amount of SSD (Solid State Drives)
- Temperature
- A server that is running hot will spin its fans at a higher speed and this will mean that it uses more electricity. This can be caused by missing or failed fans, poor airflow, or obstructions at the front or back.
