There is no fixed cost associated with server colocation. Depending upon power usage, maintenance, support and cooling systems, server colocation can cost you anywhere between a few bucks to several hundred dollars. Apart from the operating expense that will be billed every month or so – depending upon your bill cycle – you will also face some upfront costs in buying servers, since colocation provider will only allot you leasing space and the hardware has to be your own.
However, in the long run, colocation can help you save money, especially now when server hosting prices are soaring skies.
