Colocation

About Us

We pool resources to increase the value we derive from colocation. We are eager to work with responsible, professional groups and individuals who would like to pool resources with us in a cooperative format.

Join Us

You can join our efforts! A cooperative membership investment is US$300 (fully refundable should you withdraw your membership), plus a $10 administrative fee. Colocation fees begin at approximately US$50/mo, and are calculated to reflect our actual costs for your usage. We also offer virtual servers (via Xen) at price points starting at US$25/mo. If you'd like to know more, or would simply like to be a part of the discussion, please email us or join the mailing list
