Overview of Chicago Area Colocation Hosting
With colocation sevice, you are in full control. NetSource provides you with rack space, power, bandwidth, and security. You provide the server equipment. You install whatever server architecture that meets your needs. Some companies prefer to own the hardware rather than lease it (ex. dedicated servers) to save on long term costs. You get a top-notch network, reliable data center, and a high performance Internet connection. You also get an experienced staff working with you to configure or manage your colocation solution if you need help. You can still lease advanced features like firewall, data backups, and managed services if you like with all of our Chicago server colocation services.

Fully custom colocation hosting offers great flexibility.
Starting as low as $59/month you select how much of each resource type you need. The four key resources are rack space, power, bandwidth, and any managed services you need. Since you provide the hardware and software, you install whatever you need. Ask NetSource, with our years of networking and server experience, to recommend network architectures to meet any need. Calculating costs is easy - just review the cost chart below or call us at 866.778.1212.

Example: If you have a 2U server with a 350W (about 3 amps) power supply and use 30 GB per month your monthly cost would be:

        Space: 2U x $15.00 = $29.00
        Power: 3 amps x $15 = $45.00
        Bandwidth: 30 GB x $1.50 = $45.00
        Total Cost: $119.00 / Month

Also ask about alternative power and bandwidth plans. When selecting a bandwidth plan you can pay by the GB used or pay by the mbps. If you have a need for more power you can purchase power by the 15 AMP or 20 AMP circuit.
