Colocation in Sweden: Complete Guide for European Businesses
Why Colocation in Stockholm?
Stockholm is one of Europe’s most strategically located cities for internet infrastructure. With direct submarine cable connections to Finland and the Baltics, peering at Netnod (one of Europe’s oldest internet exchanges), and a cold climate that reduces cooling costs โ it’s an ideal location for server hosting.
Colocation Plans โ Public Pricing
Unlike most providers who hide behind quote forms, we publish our prices openly:
| Plan | Space | Power | Network | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1U | 1U rack | 120W incl. | 100 Mbps | โฌ75/month |
| Half Rack | 20U | By agreement | 1 Gbps | โฌ220/month |
| Full Rack | 42U | By agreement | 1 Gbps | โฌ440/month |
Why Most Providers Don’t Show Prices
The colocation industry in Europe traditionally uses quote-based pricing. You fill out a form, wait for a sales rep, negotiate, and often face 12-36 month contracts.
We believe in transparency. Our prices are public, and you can order online.
