“Houston may not always get the same marketing hype as the Bay Area or New York, but it offers an exceptional mix of land, power, connectivity and cost efficiency.
At QuoteColo we specialise in matching your workload with the right facility, whether in Houston or elsewhere in Texas (see Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Carrollton etc.).
We’ll help you navigate power, density, fibre routes, and total cost, so you choose smart, not just local.”
Tell us your rack count, power draw (kW), network/bandwidth needs and preferred sub-market (Houston).
We send you quotes from Houston facilities that match your specs.
Compare providers on pricing, SLA, cooling/power density, network; pick what fits and deploy.
Describe your needs and we will be in touch shortly with additional details and pricing information.
Market Indicators (2025 estimates):
Why Houston provides value:
Faster decisions, lower risk Houston metro (core & campuses)
Includes downtown Houston data centres, Westway Park campus, The Woodlands edge sites etc. Excellent for enterprise, large workloads and fibre-rich deployments.
Nearby Texas hubs for comparison:
| Configuration | Typical Capacity | What You Get | Houston Price Range* |
| 1U / small server | ~1–2 A @120V | Basic rack + network | Likely $X00/month (varies by location) |
| 24U cabinet (~2-3 kW) | ~2–3 kW | Standard rack | Comparable or better than coastal markets |
| Full 42U rack (2-5 kW) | ~2-5 kW | Dedicated rack | Competitive in Houston given power & land cost |
| High density rack (10 kW+) | 10 kW+ | High load, advanced cooling | Custom pricing required |
*Rates depend heavily on power draw, term, network connectivity and location (downtown vs campus). DataBank and other providers note multiple carriers and utility feeds.
| Factor | Houston | Dallas | Austin |
| Land & site cost | Relatively moderate | Moderate | Higher for tech-centric sites |
| Power & scale load | Excellent, especially East Texas / Gulf region | Strong | Growing but smaller scale |
| Network / interconnect | Good (energy + enterprise + global) | Very good | Strong tech ecosystem |
| Vacancy & pricing trend | Vacancy ~14% (improving) | Lower vacancy generally | Emerging price pressure |
| Best for | Large loads, enterprise/energy/wholesale | Wholesale & enterprise | Tech-first firms, smaller scale |
Confirm kW per rack, utility feeds, future expandability.
Number of carriers, fibre-entry diversity, cloud on-ramps.
Facility built for enterprise/hyperscale loads, redundancy, climate risk mitigation.
Downtown (higher cost, strong interconnect) vs campus/suburban (cost savings).
Understand cost elements: base rack rate, power consumption, cross-connects, term commitments.
Potential for growth, contract flexibility, option to move/expand across multiple Texas hubs.
| Feature | Houston Colocation | Dallas Colocation |
| Typical rack pricing | Competitive vs premium coastal markets | Similar or slightly higher depending on region |
| Interconnect/network access | Strong (energy, enterprise, fibre) | Very strong (carrier hubs) |
| Scale & site growth | High potential (campus size) | Also strong but land competition higher |
| Best for | Large enterprise, energy/industrial workloads, scalable growth | Wholesale colocation, enterprise, cloud on-ramp |
| Trade-Off | Possibly fewer ultra-premium interconnect options vs coastal markets | May have higher cost in certain sub-markets |
As of H2 2024 the colocation vacancy rate in Houston was ~14.8%.
Yes, Houston supports large campuses, high-density loads and wholesale builds.
Reports show 49+ facilities in the Houston metro.
Yes, Houston hosts many carriers, fibre routes and cloud on-ramps.
For standard rack/cabinet deployments, typically 2-4 weeks; for larger high-density suites allow longer lead time (power/cooling provisioning).
Houston offers a compelling colocation market: strong infrastructure, scalable growth, and competitive cost compared with many Tier-1 metros.
If you’re looking for enterprise-grade colocation (especially in energy, industrial, cloud or wholesale workloads) and want good value, Houston is a top choice.
