This is a choice that only you can make. Colocation allows you to have a server of your own specification housed in our racks. This works out much cheaper than renting a dedicated server but does come with some pitfalls, a good example being hardware failure. Most datacentres will not keep spares for you so you must supply spares and also pay for engineer time.
ValueVPS will hold spares for you and charges a very competitive £25.00 per hour for remote hands and eyes (Engineer time).
If you would prefer to rent one of our dedicated servers, looking after the hardware is our responsibility. Although renting a server will cost more than colocating your own server, the cost of replacement parts and engineer time is met by ValueVPS..
If owning your own hardware is the way you want to go, we will quite happily hold spares for you at no cost. Please be aware that we can not be responsible for any parts we hold on your behalf.
Once you have signed up for our colocation service, we will contact you by email giving you our datacentre address to ship your server to. You will need to let us know when to expect your server - if you are using a courier, please email us the delivery details.
Please do not supply disks, cables or manuals with your server. if you have rails for your server, please supply them.
