Frequently asked questions

How much does a rack (colocation) cost in Bonn?

a full rack is priced on electrical power (kVA), IP transit and cross-connects. Compare the 3 data centers in Bonn to get a costed quote.

What is the difference between housing and colocation?

None: “housing” and “colocation” mean the same thing — hosting your own servers in a third-party data center, as opposed to renting a dedicated server or public cloud.

Which data centers in Bonn are ISO 27001 certified?

Filter by certification (ISO 27001, HDS, PCI-DSS) in the comparator to keep only compliant sites.

Learn the basics: colocation, 42U rack, cross-connect, IP transit, Tier III/IV.

Costed answers: how much does a rack cost?, cross-connect pricing, colocation or cloud? — and the colocation price barometer.

What does a rack in Bonn really cost?

Beyond listed prices, here is the computed cost of a standard 5 kW rack in Bonn, from our open market model (published method, version 2026.07-v1):

ItemEstimate
5 kW rack, per month€1,100 – €1,450
Cost per kW per month€200 – €260
Over 3 years (36 months)€39,600 – €52,200

What this covers: local industrial energy tariff, site efficiency (PUE), retail colocation margin and local market tightness. What it does not: IP transit, cross-connects, setup fees and PDUs — priced site by site in the comparator.

An estimate, not an offer. It is a model, with an open method and a version — not a contractual rate. A quote prices your actual configuration. Think the model is wrong? The method is published: tell us where.

What Bonn allows

Bonn has 3 data centers, operated by NTT DATA's Global Data Centers division, EnBITCon GmbH, EXA Infrastructure. Declared design level: Tier III. That level describes the building's redundancy, not a contractual availability commitment: only the contract carries one.

Compliance and sovereignty

Sites in this city are operated by companies outside US jurisdiction, hence outside the CLOUD Act.

The electricity behind Bonn

A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Bonn are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. No single source dominates it: the largest, wind, supplies only 27.2% (2025). The detail: wind 27.2%, coal 20.6%, solar 17.9%, natural gas 16.5%, bioenergy 10.1%, hydro 3.9%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 40.9% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 330 g of CO2, i.e. 1.4 times less than the world average (458 g), 2025 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 11.7 tonnes of CO2 a year here. The same rack, same hardware, same PUE, would emit 16 tonnes on a world-average grid. The building has nothing to do with it: the country does.

What the ground has done under Bonn

Since 1970, 1 earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 100 km of Bonn, and 5 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 5.4 in 1992, 100 km away. This record covers 56 years, which is short on a seismic timescale: no recorded earthquake does not mean no hazard. It does not replace the statutory zoning, which alone binds construction.

What Bonn does not allow

No Internet exchange point is listed here: traffic will run over transit bought from a carrier, which is billed by bandwidth. No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.

Other cities with data centers near Bonn

The nearest site outside Bonn is 21 km away, in Hürth. Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
