Colocation

Rack your own hardware in our Fremont, California datacenter, with prices set by our costs for power, space and bandwidth.

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

Since IO Coöperative is a consumer coöperative, 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.
