Need to know more about colocation and our services? Take a look below at our FAQ’s. If your questions aren’t answered here call our sales hotline and one of our Engineers will be happy to help.

How do you charge for colocation?

Every server needs a certain amount of power to run, the amount of power it draws is measured in amps and we charge per amp of power used, not per Unit of space in a rack. So for example you could have a 5U tower server that draws 1 amp and in this case the cost will be for 1 amp per month.
