Southland Internet's co-location service offers an opportunity for your company to store your own server at our offices.  This service provides a direct, high-speed T-1 connection to the internet backbone.  Server co-location provides performance and flexibility without the expense of installing and maintaining an Internet server in your facility, plus saves you the cost of hardware which is needed for higher speed dedicated connections.

The server can run any operating system (Macintosh, Windows or various flavors of Unix) and may be used for any purpose that requires direct access to the Internet's backbone; for example, Web Server, Mail Server, FTP Server, Real Audio Server, IRC Server, etc.   If you need a server built and configured for you, we can do that as well.

You will be able to remotely administer your server through command prompts (Unix), FTP, and/or with programs such as Timbuktu or PC Anywhere. You will be welcomed at our location if you need to physically administer your machine.

Co-Location Service Features Include:

- Continuous connection to the internet backbone at 1.54 Mbps
- DNS hosting if needed 
- IP addresses as required
- Simple reboots as needed

The price for co-location varies based upon what the machine will be used for and also on the projected amount of traffic.  We rarely charge a setup fee, unless you have need assistance setting up software on your server or if you need us to provide you with a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) unit for your server.

Our monthly co-location fees start at $300.00 (low traffic server).

Optional Extras:

- On-site daily data backups - call for pricing
- Server Administration - $50.00 per hour
- UPS unit - one time $200.00 fee
