Server Colocation in Durham
Being part of the Research Triangle's technology and life-sciences cluster makes Durham a market where carrier reach varies street by street. Two buildings a block apart can be quoted very differently, which is exactly why a competitive bid beats a single quote.

The bottom lineGetting the best Durham value
Think a step ahead in Durham: the server colocation that fits today should also handle where the business is headed, so ask each provider about upgrades, added locations, and contract flexibility. Building that into the comparison now prevents an expensive change down the road. Competing Durham bids make those options easy to line up and weigh against the rate.
Pricing questionsDurham Server Colocation pricing, straight answers
Should I sign a longer term?
Only alongside a growth path. A low rate in a facility you cannot expand within becomes expensive the moment you need the next cabinet.
Who do I contract with?
The Durham facility you choose, directly. The comparison is free because the channel pays, and you can decline every offer you receive.
Is the quoted power what I can actually use?
Not always. Confirm whether the figure is circuit capacity or continuous usable draw, because facilities quote both and they are not the same.
How is colocation priced in Durham?
Primarily by power, expressed per kW or per amp, plus space, cross-connects, and remote hands. The headline cabinet rate is rarely the whole monthly cost.
How many carriers should the Durham facility have?
Enough that connectivity is a bid rather than a single option. Carrier density is one of the strongest arguments for one facility over another.
