Balikpapan has 2 data centers listed on DataColoc, operated notably by PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Int. Compare colocation (rack, half-rack, 1U), pricing, certifications and connectivity, then get an instant costed estimate.
Server colocation in Balikpapan (server housing) means installing your own servers in a rack or cabinet (42U) inside a secure data center: redundant power, cooling, 24/7 security and multi-carrier connectivity. DataColoc lists 2 data centers offering colocation in Balikpapan, including PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Int.
a full rack is priced on electrical power (kVA), IP transit and cross-connects. Compare the 2 data centers in Balikpapan to get a costed quote.
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.
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.
Beyond listed prices, here is the computed cost of a standard 5 kW rack in Balikpapan, from our open market model (published method, version 2026.07-v1):
| Item | Estimate |
|---|---|
| 5 kW rack, per month | €769 – €903 |
| Cost per kW per month | €135 – €158 |
| Over 3 years (36 months) | €27,684 – €32,508 |
Amounts are in euros: the model is computed in EUR, including for markets outside the euro area. We do not show a IDR conversion until a dated, sourced rate backs it.
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.

15 networks are listed at the sites in Balikpapan according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works. 2 Internet exchange points are reachable from these sites, which cuts latency to the large content networks and the cost of transit.
A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Balikpapan 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 61.5% of its electricity from coal (2024). The detail: coal 61.5%, natural gas 18.5%, hydro 7.3%, bioenergy 5.7%, geothermal and other renewables 4.5%, oil (fuel oil, diesel) 1.9%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 81.9% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 680 g of CO2, i.e. 1.5 times the world average (458 g), 2024 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 24.1 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.

No earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 200 km of Balikpapan since 1970, according to the US Geological Survey's global catalog. 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.

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 Balikpapan is 7 km away, in Kalimantan Timur. Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
