Guide
Housing, colocation or rack: how to choose
Housing, also called data center colocation, means installing your own servers in a facility run by a hosting provider. You keep ownership of the hardware and control of your configuration, while the data center provides what is most expensive to build yourself: redundant power, cooling, physical security and carrier connectivity.
Housing or dedicated server: what is the difference?
With a dedicated server, you rent a machine that belongs to the provider: you handle neither the purchase nor hardware failures. With housing, you buy and own your servers and only pay for hosting them. Housing becomes worthwhile as soon as you have specific hardware, a fleet to consolidate, or a volume that makes buying cheaper than renting over time. If you would rather not manage any hardware, our dedicated servers are a better fit.
Which size: 1U, quarter rack or full rack?
The choice depends on the number of servers, the power they draw and how fast you expect to grow. It is better to plan one size up than to have to move six months later.
- 1U or 2U: ideal for one or a few servers, to get started without tying up space.
- Quarter or half rack: the right compromise to consolidate a small fleet with room to spare.
- Full rack: for a sizeable fleet, with full control over layout and cabling.
- Custom: several racks, a private cage or specific power requirements.
What the data center takes care of
- Redundant, backed-up power, with power included in each plan.
- Cooling and temperature control in the room.
- Physical security: access control, video surveillance and operating procedures.
- Flexible carrier connectivity and Anti-DDoS protection.
- Remote hands: our technicians work on site on your behalf.
What to prepare on your side
Before installation, check that your hardware is rack-mounted with the right rails, estimate the power it actually draws, plan for power redundancy if your service must stay available at all times, and prepare your IP addressing plan. Our team reviews these points with you beforehand so that commissioning goes smoothly.
Housing FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Useful information before placing your servers in colocation.
Can I start with 1U and scale from there?
Yes. You can start with a 1U or 2U plan and move up to a quarter, half or full rack.
Are the IP and connectivity options customizable?
Yes. Higher plans allow advanced customization of IPs and connectivity options.
Do you offer on-site technical support?
Yes. Our teams can intervene according to operating, installation and maintenance needs.
What is data center housing?
Housing, or colocation, means installing your own servers in our data center. You keep ownership of the hardware, and we provide redundant power, cooling, physical security, connectivity and Anti-DDoS.
Housing or dedicated server: which should I choose?
With a dedicated server, you rent a machine that belongs to us and never deal with hardware failures. With housing, you buy your servers and only pay for hosting, which becomes cheaper over time as your fleet grows or when your hardware is specific.
How much does housing cost?
The price depends on the space used and the power included: €55 excl. VAT/month for 1U, €77 for 2U, €451 for a quarter rack, €671 for a half rack and €1,100 for a full rack. Contact us for a quote matching your setup.
