Looking for $700 or better colo space with 5 kW anywhere in the US

lentrolentro Member, Host Rep
in General

Hello,

We're looking for a rack anywhere in the US with these specs:

  • 220v 30a or 208v 30a (just 5 kW usable basically)
  • Good fair-share gigabit blend of various ISPs included in price
  • We'd start off with 1 rack to test the waters, but we can scale to 5-10 racks
  • NOT near Chicago, Las Vegas, or New York (where we already have a presence)

Our target price is ~$700/month. We can do a 24-month contract and prepay if that helps sweeten the deals.

We can also do 20 kW racks (with 4x 208v 30a feeds and 10 Gbps) at $2.25-$2.5k/month.

Anyone have any ideas where we can find such deals? Feel free to PM me or email me at jonathan[at]tensordock.com.

Thanks!
~Jonathan

    Same, without @DataIdeas-Josh our non-profit would not be where we are today. Super nice guy, and prices are extremely fair.

    Maybe Leaseweb? https://www.leaseweb.com/colocation/rack
    If you sign 36-month contract and prepay for a year it will be ~ $700/mo.

    $700 for 5 kw of reliable, ups backed, power is pretty difficult to find. In basically all markets in the USA you would be asking the facility to sell you the service at approximately opex break even, without any margin to fund Capex.

    You need to increase your budget, I never see such pricing in the world.

    I'd be very interested to hear if someone can offer this kind of pricing.

    I've seen a datacenter come close to that in A/B power. They'd do $100 per Kw/h. But they went out of business because it wasn't sustainable.

    Gave all their customers on 3-4 year contracts a 60 day notice that power is being shut off..

    It ultimately seems to depend on the electricity costs of the data center. For us, we see the prices we’re asking in the Pacific Northwest, where there’s a lot of hydropower (e.g. Quincy Washington). I assume the data centers are making healthy margins with $0.03-$0.04 power costs (which is what they tell me their cost is).

    But we’re also trying to see where else in the US we can get $700/month (ideally hydropower too). At the right location, it should work :)

    4 cents, assuming that's real, is only a small part of opex. It's not even half of the real cost of power after you consider overhead, loss, pue, etc.

    Thanks for the tag, unfortunately, the budget specified here for the power is way too low.

    Can't make any guarantees, but perhaps some of these providers can help you out:
    LeaseWeb on 2 or 3 year contracts
    AccuServHost (for some reason, their WHMCS doesn't show colo products directly, just check product IDs 28-34, https://accuservhost.com/whmcs/cart.php?a=add&pid=28)
