Server Colocation Pricing

Server colocation pricing varies between hosts, datacenters, and clients, and depends on a number of variables. Factors affecting server colocation pricing include the required space (partial cabinet, full cabinet, or cage), type of connectivity (fixed or burstable bandwidth), speed (10, 100, or 1000Mbps) and number of network connections, bandwidth usage, bandwidth pricing method (actual usage, fixed size packages, overages), number of power supplies connected to the cabinet and their capacity.

When comparing server colocation pricing, quality is just as important. It is advisable to use a host with a secure datacenter, superior infrastructure, environmental controls, fire suppression systems, redundant power sources, large capacity of quality bandwidth, and exceptional technical support. These features assure business continuity and minimal network latency, and are well worth an extra cost. Finally, the datacenter should be geographically close. If the colocated server is too far to be readily accessible, the main benefit of colocation - physical access to the server - is lost.
