Frequently asked questions

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

a full rack is priced on electrical power (kVA), IP transit and cross-connects. Compare the 2 data centers in Steinhausen 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 Steinhausen 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.

What does a rack in Steinhausen really cost?

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

ItemEstimate
5 kW rack, per month€893 – €1,021
Cost per kW per month€157 – €180
Over 3 years (36 months)€32,148 – €36,756

Amounts are in euros: the model is computed in EUR, including for markets outside the euro area. We do not show a CHF 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.

What Steinhausen allows

Steinhausen has 2 data centers, operated by DATAWIRE AG.

Connectivity from Steinhausen

2 networks are listed at the sites in Steinhausen according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works. 1 Internet exchange point is reachable from these sites, which cuts latency to the large content networks and the cost of transit. The large networks reachable directly from these sites, without buying transit, are Google, Cloudflare: they are present at the exchange point where one site in the city is a point of presence. Reaching your cloud over an exchange point rather than the public Internet changes latency, and above all the price of data egress.

Compliance and sovereignty

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

The electricity behind Steinhausen

A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Steinhausen 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 52.3% of its electricity from hydro (2025). The detail: hydro 52.3%, nuclear 29.9%, solar 12.1%, oil (fuel oil, diesel) 1.9%, bioenergy 1.6%, geothermal and other renewables 1.6%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 2.3% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 39 g of CO2, i.e. 11.7 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 1.4 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 Steinhausen

Since 1970, 1 earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 100 km of Steinhausen, and 4 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 5.3 in 1978, 129 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 Steinhausen does not allow

No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.
