1U Colocation Provider

Hello,

I am looking into 1U colocation with 10G network uplink, this is not for streaming, more on webhosting for websites and webapps.
I need a provider with low cost on monthly fees of IPs, looking into a multiyear contract.
Anyone to suggest for a Reliable partner?
I need this partner to be in the market for years and not a kid.
Thank you.

    Hi! Nice to meet you.

    If i may ask:

    • Do you have a preference for datacenter location (country?)
    • What is the power requirement, or what type of server and specifications of the server (eg. Cpus, memory, etc) would you like to colo?

    If Amsterdam, NL is okay, we can offer the following on a up to 3 years contract if you'd like:

    NorthC Kabelweg AMS:

    • 1 Rack unit
    • 10G uplink with 50TB bw on sfp+/sfp28 nic on Cisco hardware (upgradable up to 400G, we have 25/40G as well). Extra ips are 90 cents each with us. We can offer lower in the form of larger subnets.
    • 100W of power included
    • OOB ports included
    • A+B feed, sockets included
    • Free best effort remote hands and rack+stack included
    • For €55/m

    We will also be able to offer the above soon (in 2 weeks from now!) in Databarn, AMS for around €49 mrc.

    We would be happy to actively look with you into your needs! Feel free to reach out to us via DM, or at support [at] backbone [d0t] direct :-)

    The order amount of 1U Colocation is relatively small, and there should not be many local merchants willing to accept such small hosting orders. This usually involves renting a ready-made independent server and paying monthly.

    Thank you for your reply. I am interested.

    I don't mind that much on the location, must be in Europe though, preferred Finland or Netherlands.

    Power should be at 1amp included per month. I have 2x750W PSU so 100 w it's not enough.

    Its often less about the PSU, and more about what is in the server (cpu,...) that actually causes the power draw. If you let us know the specs, then i am sure many posters here will be able to help estimate your real world power-draw.

    I can already tell you that you will realistically end up requiring 1.5 to 2.4A for this, depending on your load.

    (I'm just a noob that wants to learn)

    He has a server with 2x 200w tdp cpu's, Even when not doing a lot of compute, that is going to take some power just to keep running at base frequency.
    For memory he has 4 dimm's, those also draw power, altho in his case he has chosen large dimm's, wich is a generally a bit more efficent than more smaller ones.
    Based on the mainboard, addon card we are talking about a dell server. He mentioned that its a 1U you are looking at 4 to 6 fans in this chassis. Its also worth pointing out that both the Network-Addon card as well as the Raid card increase the powerdraw as well (slightly). The SAS ssd's used here also a tiny bit less efficient that their sata counterparts.

    If you read what i wrote before it said "depending on your load".

    Doing little (not just purely idling) he will likely be around the 1.3 to 1.5 A mark. Depending on his load he will go all the way up to 2.4A (peak). Realistically I think a 2A power budget would work well for him, but the 1A that was inquired about will be a bit on the low side. My comment was purely about pointing that out.

    I did some tests on some and was not fast due to my location which will not be mentioned, DM me if needed though.

    Which one above has a proven fast connection and can they provide a speed test url?

    A data center having "access" to AMS-IX does not mean that the provider/ISP is present on AMS-IX, which we are not, but a few of our Transit providers.

    I wouldn't make the choice which colocation provider to use based on the fact that they are present at AMS-IX. They could stop being there any time.

    And you getting a better speed just because your traffic from your Home ISP ends up running via AMS-IX from ISP A to ISP B does not mean that AMS-IX is the reason for more speed.

    While i am not personally present on amsix, I can certainly help with that. Customers of mine are present there... So we would just do an L2 to get you over there - via nikhef. (Either via a reseller port of a business partner or direct, if you want to order a patch in nikhef).

    that 0,02€/Mbit it says on Website possible on 100Gbit commit?

    Hey, thanks for your interest! Our starting rate of 2 cents per 95% Mbps applies mainly to specific scenarios, such as:

    • Multi-port/400G options (ie: 2x100G or 400G)
    • Partial transit (peering only)
    • Commit agreements where a percentage is designated exclusively for IX/PNI traffic (including PNI with networks like LibertyGlobal, WorldStream, Hetzner, and many others, ~300k v4 ranges ).

    For full transit on 100G port(s) we can offer a slightly higher rate while still remaining within the 2.x to 3 cents per Mbps range. All ports we provide are symmetrical, so we don’t limit or adjust based on upload vs. download (e.g., we don’t restrict to "50% upload").

    If you're interested or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out! We are eager to work with/for anyone to supply a suitable, performant and affordable traffic solution.

    Regarding OP, we are currently exploring options with NL-IX and AMS-IX for larger port connections, though we're still in the negotiation phase and can’t confirm dates or specific IX details yet.
