Running servers in your closet, spare bedroom, or garage gets old fast. Columbia Colocation gives your hardware a real home — proper power, proper fiber, a real static IP, and no ISP threatening to cancel you for running servers. From $85/mo for 1U.
If you've been running servers at home long enough, you know the friction. Here's what moves to the past when your hardware is somewhere better.
Your ISP blocks 80, 443, 25, 22. You're running everything on weird ports. Dynamic IP means updating DNS every time power flickers. CGNAT means your server isn't really public.
You get a real static public IP. All ports available. No CGNAT. A business-grade fiber uplink with no residential terms of service. Run whatever services you want.
A car hits a utility pole three blocks away and your server is down until power comes back. Your partner wants to know why the loud machines are still running at 2am.
Grant County PUD has delivered power without outage for 2+ years at our facility. UPS protection in place. Generator backup in progress. The uptime argument moves to your ISP's problem.
The server room is a sauna in July. The fans are audible from the living room. The household has opinions. The power bill went up and nobody knows why.
Your hardware lives in a temperature-managed environment. Your home is quiet. Your power bill reflects actual household usage. Everyone is happier.
If your house burns down, your server goes with it. Your backup is on the same NAS as your primary. Your "offsite backup" is your friend's house.
Your hardware in Quincy, your home in Seattle — different power grids, different locations, true DR separation. Back up your home machines to your colocated server. Actual redundancy.
No upsells, no "enterprise add-ons." Here's what comes with every rack space from day one.
One static public IPv4 included with every plan. No CGNAT. No dynamic DNS workarounds. Additional IPs $5/mo. /29 and /28 blocks available.
Bandwidth is included on Grant County PUD fiber — no overage billing, no 95th percentile games. Run a file server, game server, or media server without worrying about the bill.
Your traffic is isolated from other customers. Private VLAN keeps your server off the public internet if you want it that way — useful for lab environments and internal services.
Standard power draw included in your plan rate. No separate power billing for normal server loads. High-draw configs available — contact us if you're running something thirsty.
Call or text 509-906-1250 and you reach the person who manages the facility. Need a reboot? We'll handle it. Need eyes on something? We'll schedule a visit.
Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. Founder pricing locks your rate for 24 months, but you're never locked into a term. If it's not working, you take your hardware back.
We're not picky about workloads. Here's the range of things customers run when they finally get their hardware out of the closet.
Media servers, cloud storage, and home automation backends that need to be accessible from outside your house — without VPN gymnastics or exposing your residential IP.
Dedicated game servers for your group — better latency than a VPS, more control than a managed host, and unmetered bandwidth so you're not paying per player-hour of data.
WireGuard or OpenVPN exit nodes, Tailscale subnets, and routing endpoints that need a stable static IP in a known jurisdiction — not a VPN provider you're just trusting with your traffic.
Test environments, CI/CD runners, staging servers for personal or client projects — hardware you own, configurations you control, no cloud billing surprises when a pipeline runs hot.
Synology or TrueNAS units serving as an offsite backup destination — your home machines back up to Quincy, your colo server backs up locally. Actual 3-2-1 backup without S3 egress fees.
pfSense, OPNsense, or MikroTik devices acting as VPN concentrators, DNS resolvers, or routing endpoints. 1U fits most appliances — and they run light on power.
We're a small, focused facility in Quincy, WA — not a hyperscale campus. 4 racks available, ISP-operated, UPS on single-feed power, generator backup in progress. On-site visits are by appointment with local staff. If you need 99.999% SLA, enterprise NOC, or multiple power paths today — we're not there yet. If you need a real home for your server at a price that doesn't require a business case, we're exactly right. We're transparent about what we are and what we're building toward.
Founder pricing locked 24 months from install. $0 setup, month-to-month. Power, bandwidth, static IP, and VLAN all included. Full details on our colocation page.
