Colocation Referral Service since 2004

No. You never pay us. The data center shares their existing sales commission with us — the same way they’d compensate an in-house sales rep. You pay exactly what you’d pay going direct. In practice, because we know which providers have real capacity and are motivated to move, you often land faster and avoid the deals that look good on the quote and fall apart on the real bill.

We’ve been matching buyers with colocation providers since 2004 — over 20 years, 5,000+ companies helped. Bob Spiegel, our founder, has direct relationships with hundreds of regional operators. You can call us directly — contact info is on the site.

Google shows you who has good SEO. We show you who has real capacity, fits your specs, and has pricing that won’t surprise you on month two. Most providers don’t publish real rack rates, minimum commits, power availability, or cross-connect fees online. We have that data from 20+ years of direct relationships — including regional operators that don’t show up in search at all.

Most clients receive a shortlist within a few hours of submitting their requirements. Standard requests: within 24 hours. Complex or high-density deployments (multi-site, compliance-heavy, or 30kW+ per rack) may take 2–3 business days to source properly. A real person follows up — not an automated sequence.

Yes, this is one of our fastest-growing request types. We source facilities that accept deployments from 5kW to 100kW+ per rack without requiring MW-scale minimums. We verify cooling design (air handles to ~25–30kW reliably; direct-to-chip above that) and flag which sites are ‘liquid-ready on a sales deck’ vs actually installed.

We handle those too. Smaller deployments are where referral services add the most value — many large facilities won’t respond to sub-rack inquiries, but we know which operators specialize in 1U to quarter-rack without making you feel like an afterthought.

Not upfront, beyond your technical requirements. Some providers demand heavy qualification before they’ll even discuss capacity — entity forms, company website, financials. Others evaluate based on your specs first. We know which providers are which, and we route you accordingly. You stay in control of what you share and when.

The rack rate is just the base. Your actual bill adds: power billing model (committed kW vs metered — and committed means you pay for idle capacity), cross-connect fees, remote hands hourly rates, bandwidth billing (metered vs unmetered vs burstable), and installation charges. A recent 300kW deployment in a Colorado secondary market came in at ~$78/kW/month base — with cross-connects and power model adding ~25–30% to the real monthly cost. We surface all of this before you sign.

Our primary focus is the US and Canada. We handle select international requests but coverage and response time vary outside North America — we’ll tell you upfront if a market is outside our reliable network.
