Colocation in Washington State doesn't have to mean Seattle prices. Columbia Colocation is in Quincy, WA — on Grant County PUD fiber, 10–20ms from Seattle, with rack space from $85/mo. No egress fees. No setup fees. No contracts.
We're not cutting corners to offer affordable colocation in Washington. The price difference comes from structural advantages — location, ownership, and operational model.
Grant County PUD delivers hydroelectric power at some of the lowest commercial rates in the US. Power is the biggest cost driver in colocation. Ours is structurally cheaper — and we pass that through.
Seattle and Bellevue data centers pay premium commercial real estate costs and pass them to you. Quincy, WA doesn't have that overhead. Same fiber connectivity — different zip code economics.
Columbia Colocation is operated by Crescent Bar Internet, LLC — the ISP that owns the fiber. No reseller margin, no third-party data center markup. You're paying us directly for infrastructure we own.
Most providers charge per GB of data leaving their network. We don't. Bandwidth is included on Grant County PUD fiber — unmetered, no overage invoices, no surprise bills at month-end.
We're not supporting a 200-person sales team or an enterprise support org. You deal directly with the people managing the facility. Lower overhead means lower prices without cutting service quality.
Founder pricing is available for the first 24U deployed — locks your rate for 24 months from your install date. Limited slots. Get in early and the price stays low for two years guaranteed.
