- 250 kW (800A 3P 208V DELTA) (4 x 200A Meters)
- 16 x 60A 3P 208V PDU's
- Low Latency Symmetrical Gigabit Fiber (<1ms)
- Hot Aisle / Cold Aisle Containment
- Incoming Air Filtration
- Air Side Economizer ( 62F - 82F Avg, 87F Max )
- Evaporative Cooling (Optional)

About Our Power

Our power comes from the Bonneville Power Administration, here is their resource mix;

Hosting Plans

In addition to traditional hosting of individual miners we want to start offering hosting packages where you become a direct customer of our local utility. You would receive a dedicated power delivery service and utility meter. You pay the utility directly and merely rent the space and infrastructure from us on a month-to-month basis.

Paying the utility directly makes sure you are only paying for the power you use and never paying for power during unexpected downtime, software crashes, planned maintenance, RMA's, etc. People have asked if we could bill by the kWh, unfortunately the current regulations seem to indicate that if we install sub-metering on a customer by customer basis it would define our business as a federally regulated utility. We want to avoid that.

This is the best way to meet our customers needs and also offers a level of utility rate transparency currently not available from any of our competitors. Plus, there are some additional perks; The local utility currently accepts most major credit cards. This is excellent if your trying to get a little kick back in regards to cash back, miles, etc. Paying the utility directly also assures that you are paying the lowest possible price if rates change in your advantage. Additionally, our state is one of the few states without a sales tax. So there will be no local taxes added to your hosting or utility bill.

Hosting Rates

- Shared Module -> $65/kW-month [ < 60 kW ]
- Dedicated Rack -> $2000/month + Direct Utility Payment [ ~ 60 kW ]
- Private Module -> $7500/month + Direct Utility Payment [ 250 kW ]

Hosting Fee's

- No setup costs of any kind
- No cost for reboots during business hours (unless abused, >1 reboot per day is abuse of the policy)
- Pack it up and ship it out fee of $20/miner for re-packaging and drop off with shipping carrier (customer provides shipping labels)

Additional services available

- Full suite of VPS solutions
- Dedicated customer VLAN's
- Cost effective geo-diverse redundant data storage
- Colocation of traditional rack mount servers

Payments

- PayPal (3% Added Fee)
- Bitcoin (No Fee, Coinbase Exchange Rates)

You can ship directly to us from the manufacturer, we'll pick it up at FedEx (preferred) and have it up and running as quickly as possible.

Hi, jeff is a good guy offering good services, i know about him because i've bought 2 miners hosted with him and he is giving ever a good service.

[-droid-]

Ive got 10 s7's hosted with JeffColo and service has been top notch.. definitely going to use him for future next gen hosting as well

[spiccioli]

I've had 31 SP20s hosted with JeffColo for more than a year (just sold them all) and his service has been top notch the whole time.

I will surely host with him again in the future if S9's price comes down and/or some new miner gets sold to the public at large.

Been a while w/o discussion.  I am looking for a place to host additional miners. 

I looked at the website and it discusses only hosting your own server.  I'm not sure if anybody has had recent experience and would appreciate any feedback/help in finding someone to host ...

[sunbreak]

Just updated our initial announcement to reflect our current offerings and upcoming capacity increase.

Been a while w/o discussion.  I am looking for a place to host additional miners.  

I looked at the website and it discusses only hosting your own server.  I'm not sure if anybody has had recent experience and would appreciate any feedback/help in finding someone to host ...

Our website is targeted at our traditional cloud/vps/colocation business. Hosting mining equipment is very different from hosting conventional servers in terms of power density, air flow and cooling requirements.

For the last several years we have operated at maximum capacity with a waiting list of eager people ready to fill any openings. So there hasn't really been much reason to setup a web site and advertise miner targeted hosting services when there is no room.

With our current build out, the project is large enough that we should have vacancies for a while. I'm tempted to advertise, but I've already received a ton of interest from people with rather large ambitions (>500 machines). So once again, probably not worth it.

I received an email asking me what the advantages to dedicated service are. I figured I would detail them here;

We charge $65/kW-month but that assumes that your machine has 100% uptime. If any of your machines have anything less than 100% uptime then you will come out ahead if you are fully utilizing the power delivery. There are all sorts of reasons you wouldn't achieve 100% uptime including crashed miners, faulty mining equipment out for repair, power outages, internet outages, regional internet congestion, pool server outages, etc.

If you are getting charged for power when a machine isn't mining that is equivalent to actually watching your mining revenues go in reverse. If you aren't getting charged for the power when your machine is off at least you aren't losing money you already earned.

In addition you can save 1-2% on energy costs by paying the utility with a credit card with a rewards program. We certainly do this, so this is a way to pass that benefit on to the customer.

Customers with large numbers of machines stand to benefit the most from dedicated services. The overall savings are small, but being able to optimize your operation with these additional features could potentially save a miner up to 10% over normal costs.

JeffColo has been my colocation hosting provider since about the beginning of this June (2017). Everything is going great so far. I have about a half dozen miners there.

Highly recommended+++

Do you offer GPU hosting?  Would you also offer complete build and setup of GPU miners, meaning you procure the various equipment needed and get it up and running?

Yes, but only if your GPU rigs are in 19" server enclosures.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1731197.0

That forum talks about using the very economical Rosewill RSV-L4500 server case. You can get them at NewEgg.

There are also Grey Matter GPU cases that are very nice, but much more expensive.

Typically we don't do complete builds of GPU equipment, although it is possible. It would have to be negotiated on a case by case basis depending on the complexity.

Thank you for the information, personally I think it would be easier if you guys sourced the build for me as it would create less confusion in my mind.  If this is something you would be interested in, please let me know, I understand if it is not.  To start, I would probably only want 1 or 2 rigs, but would scale up as we developed a relationship.

are you guys %100 now ?

[jwchong]

For - Dedicated Rack -> $2000/month + Direct Utility Payment [ ~ 60 kW ]

How much is the electricity calculated per kWh?

Can you post some photos / videos of your datacenter?

[sunbreak]

The next 30-40 days is crunch time and we will be extra busy receiving the last of the equipment and setting up the new datacenter space. Due to this we have started to fall behind in responding to hosting requests.

We understand it is critical to avoid delays in getting your equipment up and running as soon as it ships. Many of the customer requests we receive want absolute dates on power and space availability. If you are uncomfortable sending equipment to us for fear of delay, please host it yourself until the space is move in ready. Then ship it to us at that time to avoid any possible delays.

Prospective customers who have corresponded with us know that there is a capacity reservation waiting list for the various stages of our expansion. In an effort to stream line our hosting request process we decided to post our waiting list on the top of this service announcement page.

The reservations on the waiting list will be be fulfilled in first in first out order. User identities in the list will be replaced with random values known only by us and by the requester. Until the list is full you are assured that you have the option to host with us when it becomes available. If you request capacity after the list is full then you would only get an opportunity to host your equipment with us if someone else decides to refuse the offer.

Send us requests for hosting at hosting@jeffcolo.net with the quantity, brand and model of the machines along with the total power consumption you expect to use. The list will be updated with your request in chronological order. If for some reason we are taking awhile to reply, rest assured that as long as you sent us a request the timestamp on the email will ensure your position.

When power and space become available we will go through the waiting list, when your name comes up you will be given the opportunity to commit to the agreement or refuse it at that time. If you refuse, the power allocation you had requested will passed forward to the next person on the list.

We have a master service agreement that we can provide for your review. Due to the waiting list there is no reason to sign the agreement immediately. We can go through that when the power actually becomes available and the space is move in ready.

Others have stated they are willing to accept the risk of delays and would like to send us their equipment directly from the manufacturer in order to save shipping expenses and take advantage of Oregon's lack of sales tax. Just realize that as hard as we may try, delays are possible and often outside our control. We will do our best to minimize delays as much as possible.

Thanks
