Frequently asked questions

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

a full rack is priced on electrical power (kVA), IP transit and cross-connects. Compare the 2 data centers in Lille 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 Lille are ISO 27001 certified?

1 of the 2 data centers listed in Lille declare ISO 27001. 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.

What does a rack in Lille really cost?

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

5 kW rack, per month€807 – €935
Cost per kW per month€140 – €163
Over 3 years (36 months)€29,052 – €33,660

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 Lille allows

Lille has 2 data centers, operated by UltraEdge.

Connectivity from Lille

7 networks are listed at the sites in Lille according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works.

Compliance and sovereignty

Declared certifications: ISO 27001, ISO 50001, HDS. A certification is verified site by site and carries an expiry date: ask for the certificate, not the logo. Sites in this city are operated by companies outside US jurisdiction, hence outside the CLOUD Act.

The electricity behind Lille

A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Lille are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. That grid draws 68.8% of its electricity from nuclear (2025). The detail: nuclear 68.8%, hydro 10.4%, wind 8.2%, solar 5.6%, natural gas 3%, oil (fuel oil, diesel) 1.8%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 5.1% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 41 g of CO2, i.e. 11.2 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 1.5 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 Lille

Since 1970, 1 earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 100 km of Lille, and 3 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 5.5 in 1976, 68 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 Lille 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.

The nearest site outside Lille is 2 km away, in Lambersart. Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
