Providers that owns datacenter / gear at datacenter?

Ivan

Personally, I’d rather be with a provider who has leased space in a proper colocation facility (Equinix, DRT, etc) that has proper power and cooling infrastructure, as well as security, than a provider who operates their own datacenter facility (aka a converted warehouse or similar).

At least in the former, I can trust that a catastrophic failure is less likely to happen. For reference, see OVH fire incident.

It is also standard business practice for hosting providers to have local remote hands contractors close to the DC. Those who have scale (a rented cage or larger), may employ full time local DC hands who are present during business hours.

Owning and running a PROPER datacenter facility is not cheap and those who truly do, are not in the business of hosting, they are in the business of retail and wholesale colocation.

In the hosting space, I can say that Hetzner and OVH are the few with their own self-operated DCs in specific regions. Fiberstate also seemingly operates their own facility in Utah, as well as Alexhost in Moldova.

Thanks for your comment,
Most of the providers goes to OVH/Hetzner.
And you mention it, that even the big OVH (I think in France) burnout.

Hi,

We have our datacenter room at Digital Realty AMS5 (NL), with our own hardware, a completely redundant network with local backup transit, and diverse dark fiber routes to Digital Realty AMS17 & Nikhef.

We're happy to answer any further questions you might have

But not sell Reseller Hosting (Reseller shared hosting)

Ah, apologies, I thought you meant reselling services in general.

What a shitshow, almost all providers involved for a bloody shared hosting account! I though the OP is going to buy a datacenter with all this shitshow, give me a break!

Is the OP asking all this just to buy a $5/mo service? The impression here is they wanted to colocate or rent out a bunch of dedicated servers, not shared hosting…
