Colocation
PagePlop offers three colocation plans to suit your colocation
needs. These are some of the benefits of colocating with PagePlop:
- Colocate ANY Computer. PagePlop's colocation facilities
use sturdy shelving for your colocation machine, so your computer
doesn't have to conform to strict rack specifications. Send an
IMac if you want!
- Customer Service. PagePlop offers personalized customer
service. We are at your disposal with a wealth of information
to help you successfully manage your remote system.
- Reliable Telco System. PagePlop is open about all
telco issues. We list all incidents affecting the T1 lines on
our server status page so that
you are always informed. We demand complete reliability from
our telco and have had 99% up-time even since we opened in 1996!
- You Own It. Of course you own the hardware and software
if you send us a machine for Self-Managed or Managed Colocation,
but you also own any hardware and software that is purchased
for our Complete colocation package. You never rent hardware
or software from PagePlop.
