What does colocation actually cost in 2026? Most colocation providers don't publish pricing, and the headline rate rarely tells you the full monthly cost. Here are some of the ranges we're seeing: Standard colocation, 3–10 kW/rack: $250–$300 per rack/month High-density GPU, 10–60+ kW/rack: $225–$250/kW/month in many secondary markets Primary markets where capacity is available: $200–$250+/kW/month ASIC miner hosting: $0.06–$0.085/kWh all-in The quoted rate may only cover power and rack space. Depending on the provider, additional monthly charges can include cross-connects, bandwidth, remote hands, installation fees and power overages. Ask for a line-by-line quote so you understand the total monthly cost, not just the headline rate. Capacity and pricing also vary significantly by market. Northern Virginia remains extremely tight, while we continue to see availability in markets including Columbus, Colorado, Las Vegas, Reno, Salt Lake City, Dallas, Houston, the Carolinas and Toronto. Availability changes quickly, particularly for high-density and larger power requirements. QuoteColo has been helping companies find data center capacity since 2004, with direct relationships across 500+ providers and facilities worldwide. Send us your location, power requirement and timeline and we'll identify options that fit. No cost to buyers. We're compensated by the provider.

Two buyers told us the same thing this month. They can't take delivery of their GPUs until they can tell NVIDIA where the machines are going. Not the region. The facility. That reverses the order most people plan in. You don't sign a colocation contract after the hardware is approved - you need a named facility before the order ships. For one of them that meant a GB300 deployment needing a few megawatts of liquid-cooled capacity, found and documented before a single server moved. If you're waiting on GPU allocation, start the capacity search now. And when you shortlist, ask one question: are the CDUs commissioned, or on the data sheet? Two buyers isn't a policy. It's a pattern worth planning around. DM us if you're in that position - we'll tell you what's actually available.

26 data center listings in our October inventory are available now or in Q4. Three of them are 1 MW or more. There is power. Almost none of it comes in megawatt blocks. North America, immediate or Q4 2026: Under 500 kW: 12 listings 500 to 999 kW: 11 listings 1 MW and up: 3 listings What to budget, per kW per month, space and power: Under 100 kW: $225–250 100 to 500 kW: $200–250 1 MW and up: $185–250 The $185 end is build-to-suit, not ready-now space. No planning band for 500 kW to 1 MW this edition. Two listings on our desk in that range: Denver at 750 kW, $190–225, Q4 2026. Utah at 800 kW, $240, Q4 2026, with 500 kW listed as available now. Both are listed offers, not closed deals. Those bands overlap on purpose. Bigger does not reliably mean cheaper. At size, the differences are availability, credit and delivery date. Two things the bands don't tell you. Listed kW is not always one usable block. A campus total can be split across rooms or phases, and a note saying "immediate" can sit beside an install date two quarters out. Ask which one you're being shown. Every quarter needs a year. "Out till Q4" means nothing on its own. At 1 MW and up, plan six to twelve months. Investment-grade credit is the main gate at that size, and some providers want to meet you before committing a full megawatt. Without IGC, a few will start you around 300 kW and consider expansion later. Expansion is not reserved capacity unless it's in writing. Under 500 kW the picture is different and better. Don't apply megawatt timelines to a single-rack deployment. October 2026, from 50+ provider responses and our own high-density inventory. Planning ranges, not market averages. Sizing a deployment? Send the kW, the hardware, the metro and your target date.

"Air-cooled" is doing a lot of work in most colocation conversations. Take an HGX or DGX B300 - 8-GPU air-cooled servers at roughly 14–16 kW each. Your rack density depends entirely on how many you put in one rack: 1 per rack → ~16–18 kW. Almost any legacy facility takes this. 2 per rack → ~32–36 kW. The realistic ceiling for pure air with hot-aisle containment. 3–4 per rack → ~50–65 kW. Needs rear-door heat exchangers, which is liquid-assisted no matter what the data sheet calls it. Add 1–2 kW per rack for ToR switching. Figure roughly 2 kW per GPU all-in. So when you ask a provider for "air-cooled capacity," ~35 kW per rack is the honest number to specify. Above that, someone is going to have a conversation about CDUs later that should have happened now. Two things worth asking the provider directly. "Liquid-ready" usually means plumbing rough-ins and a line on a spec sheet. It rarely means commissioned CDUs on the floor. Those are different products at 40 kW - so ask whether the CDUs are in the floor or on the data sheet. And is that 35 kW sustained, or peak? Ask which one the SLA covers. Save it for your next provider call. Since 2004, 500+ providers worldwide. When you know your number, send us the spec and the metro.
