Colocation through us is
the cheaper alternative to a dedicated server as well as hosting your
own servers in a rack. With Clanplanet's colocated servers, it allows you
the freedom and flexibility to use your servers anyway you want with the options of chosing bandwidth providers, power requirements and much much more. We take care
of all this at a very competitive rate.
Colocation services are for those that require complete control
over their server configuration.
Colocation is a service in which a company will connect a server
that you own to the internet. If you do not already have one, some
companies offer to build a server for you (contact
us for more information). This is the key difference
between dedicated servers and colocated servers. In a dedicated
environment, the server itself is owned by the web hosting company,
whereas in a colocated environment, the server is your own. |

No matter what service you choose, you still get the same amazing service
whether you host 1 server with us or a whole suite. Our data centre (Bluesquare) is designed for your needs, with full 24/7 security and every
spot in the datacentre covered by CCTV. Making the use of a pac
key system within the building, allows only users with the correct
permissions to access your hardware within our private cage. Each rack is 47u
and 19inch in size which is secured with a PIN code lock on both the front and rear access
doors.

With each cabinet supplied with 8amps of power (200/240v AC) upto 16amps, it should
be perfectly adequate for any situation. Like any Data Centre,
the power is guaranteed by multiple diesel generators and an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS: multiple
80-200kVA UPS units in N+1 configuration, providing autonomous power
of minimum 10 minutes) system to provide backup power to ensure your
servers continue to function in case of a full mains power supply failure.
Similarly like any datacentre, Bluesquare provides a full air
conditioning to provide a steady 22c to keep the hardware constantly
cool as well as a fire suppression
system if the worst ever happened.

Network wise, each rack has dual resilient Gigabyte ethernet connections
which then connect straight into our central network. For more information about our network, please visit our network page.
If you did require access to your hardware, all you are required to
do is forward an access request to our department ahead of your visit
so we can get your access arranged correctly to your rack. For users wanting more than a 1/4 rack, PAC keys can be arranged.
Please visit the sections you feel suite your needs best. If you require
a custom quote feel free to contact
