Common questions

Pricing FAQ

  • What cabinet density can I actually run at?

    Our data centers in The Hague offer maximum power for your cabinet. Standard cabinets in The Hague (DFDC THG1) have a shared tier power of up to 5 kW of cooling included. Our Secured (private-cabinet) service has a power capacity of 8-16 kW per cabinet with included overhead cooling. Our Hi-Density service has a power capacity of up to 20 kW per cabinet, including CRAH air management for the highest-density GPU or HPC deployments. For maximum power or even liquid cooling needs we offer custom solutions for your data center needs.

  • Cross-Connect Pricing: One-Time Fee, No Monthly Charge

    Once cross connect is created it will stay active as long as you have active contract. Cross connect is one time fee to set up connection between your cabinet and another tenant or carrier in the data center. We don't want to charge cross connect fee as this is very common in the industry to charge and it can be very costly for customers who want to do serious peering or hybrid environment.

  • Can I bring my own servers to a Netrouting datacenter?

    Most hardware fits in our cabinets so even odd-shaped boxes or custom builds will generally fit in our cabinets as long as they are no deeper than 1070mm. We do not have a list of pre-approved vendors and there is no increased charge for non-standard equipment.

  • How does the colocation service tie in with the network (e.g. to enable a hybrid setup of colo servers and servers hosted on the cloud control plane)?

    A Netrouting colocation makes part of your servers and IT infrastructure part of the Netrouting network. As a tenant in a Netrouting staffed location, you can get IP transit on our AS6206 backbone. This allows your IP addresses to be announced on our upsteam. This enables you to benefit from very low latency as well as from all Netrouting peering points. In AMS we peer with AMS-IX, NL-IX and LSIX. In Frankfurt we peer with DE-CIX. In Stockholm we peer with Netnod and STHIX. In Hong Kong we peer with HKIX. In Singapore we peer with SGIX. Often the prices for IP transit on the Netrouting backbone are lower than the prices of other carriers located in the same data center.

  • What is the colocation Service Level Agreement (SLA) for power and cooling?

    99.997% (N+1 UPS with diesel generator for emergency power) and 99.999% (N+1 airhandler per cooling zone with VESDA smoke detection) for power and cooling. Compensation is automatically provided when these percentages are not met. Our Datacenter locations are all SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 audited on an annual basis. Our Secured tier cabinets are built with dual power feeds as standard, our shared rack locations in our staffed facilities are single fed but can be dual fed as an option during the order process.

  • How do I test the network speed from my location?

    Every city page now includes the public test IP address for that location, as well as a link to 100 MB, 1 GB and 10 GB test files. You can download these files from the location nearest to you with curl or wget, or download them from your browser.
