How BargainColo works

We do the asking around so you don't have to. You get real prices for your exact setup, and you decide.

  1. 1

    Tell us your setup

    Space, power, bandwidth, where and your budget. Two minutes, no account, nothing to sign.

  2. 2

    We ask the operators

    We send your requirements, never your name or contact details, to the facilities that fit and ask for their best price.

  3. 3

    You pick the bargain

    We come back with real quotes, usually within one business day. Choose one, or none. Asking is always free.

Where the deals come from

Facilities on BargainColo are listed by their own operators on our sister site, RentColocation.com. We only show operating colocation facilities, never land or projects still being built.

When an operator gives us a written price for a small package, it shows on the card as "from $X/mo". Until then the card says "price on request", and we ask on your behalf.

Who pays us

You don't. Asking is free and there is nothing to sign with us. If you choose a facility, you sign directly with the operator at their price, and the operator pays us a referral fee.

What we need from you

  • How much space: 1U, 2U, 4U, 8U-10U or a quarter rack
  • Roughly how much power, or your server model
  • Bandwidth and how many IP addresses
  • Where, when, for how long, and your budget

What operators see

Your requirements only. Your name, email, phone and company stay with us until you tell us which offer you want to take.

Tell us what you need. We find the cheap slot.

One short form: space, power, bandwidth and budget. We ask the operators and come back with real prices, usually within one business day.
