Colocation

Datacenter colocation is one of the two primary services IO Cooperative provides. Our members colocate hardware in our datacenters to run their businesses, support their non-profits, and host their personal projects.

Since IO Cooperative is a consumer cooperative, it’s owned by the members. As a result, our prices are derived directly from our costs for power, space and bandwidth plus whatever overhead is needed for the infrastructure.

$25/month 1, 1U rack mountable server
30 watts (about 0.144 amps at 208v) power and cooling
1 IPv4 addresses (we also support IPv6)
5Mbps at 95th percentile with 100Mbps burst capability
up to 2 remote power cyclable power outlets
IPMI access
$0.50/month 1 additional watt of power and the associated cooling. For example, if your host uses 57 watts this would constitute (57 – 30 = 27) 27 watts over the base or $13.50 month
$0.50/month 1 additional Mbps of bandwidth @ 95th percentile. For example, if your month bandwidth usage at 95th percentile is 7 Mbps this would constitute (7 – 5 = 2 Mbps) 2 Mbps over the base or $1/month
$1/month 1 additional IP address
$20/month 1 additional 1U of rack space

We also offer virtual servers at all datacenters.

If you have a Colocation request that is not easily handled by this form, please feel free to send a request directly to support@iocoop.org.

    Server depth in inches
    Note: The server must be less than 28.75 inches deep

    Estimated power consumption in watts
    Note that your server must accept 208 volt power. You can measure power consumption with a Kill-a-watt

    Number of power supplies with power sockets

    Power socket orientation as viewed from the back of the server

    Estimated bandwidth measured at 95th percentile in Mbps

    Number of public IPv4 addresses needed. This is the number that you will use within the first month. Additional IPs can be assigned later when needed
    Any more than 1 public IPv4 address will require written justification that we can provide to ARIN

    Number of public network ports needed
    This is almost always 1

    Number of private network ports needed
    This could be needed for an IPMI or if you have multiple servers in the cabinet which need to be connected together
