Location: Frazer Town, Bangalore, Karnataka, India | Own DC | AS154111
Why HostupCloud Colocation?
- Own datacenter in central Bangalore — Frazer Town, not in an industrial area. Easy physical access for your team.
- Cheapest in Bangalore — 1U all-in starts at ~$45/mo vs $130-240+ at competitors.
- Transparent split billing — Fixed rack fee + metered energy (kWh). You see exactly what you pay for.
- Own AS + own IP space — AS154111 with IRINN-allocated 203.9.196.0/23 and 2402:1FE0::/32. No resold IPs.
- Hybrid cloud + colo integration — Free internal traffic between your colocated hardware and HUC cloud/S3 services.
- No lock-in — Monthly billing, no setup fees, no long-term contracts required.
Two-Part Pricing Model
Colocation billing is split into two components:
- Rack fee (fixed monthly) — Covers rack space, included bandwidth, IPs, kW reservation, and remote hands.
- Energy (metered monthly) — Actual power consumption measured at the rack PDU, billed at ₹12/kWh ($0.1304/kWh).
This split model means you only pay for the energy you actually use. The rack fee is fixed and predictable; the energy component scales with your real consumption.

Total Cost Examples
The total monthly cost is rack fee + metered energy. Energy is calculated as: average watts x 730 hours/month x $0.1304/kWh.
| Configuration | Avg. Draw | Rack Fee | Energy Cost | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1U (300W average) | 300W | $16.29 | $28.55 | ~$44.84/mo |
| Half rack (2.5 kW average) | 2.5 kW | $130.35 | $237.93 | ~$368.28/mo |
| Full rack (4 kW average) | 4.0 kW | $195.53 | $380.69 | ~$576.22/mo |
Energy costs depend on your actual power draw, which varies by hardware and workload. The examples above assume typical 24/7 operation at the stated average wattage over 730 hours/month.
Commitment Discounts
Longer commitments earn a discount on the rack fee only. Energy charges are always billed at the standard metered rate.
| Commitment | Discount |
|---|---|
| Monthly | 0% |
| Quarterly | 5% |
| Semi-annual | 10% |
| Annual | 15% |
| 2-year | 20% |
Commitment discounts apply exclusively to the rack fee. The metered energy component is not discountable.

Because HostupCloud operates its own AS and IP space, you get direct peering and routing advantages that resellers cannot offer. Internal traffic between your colo racks and HUC cloud/S3 services is free.
Hybrid Cloud + Colocation
One of the key advantages of colocating at HUC is seamless integration with our cloud platform:
- Free internal traffic between your colocated servers and HUC cloud compute instances
- Free internal traffic to HUC S3-compatible object storage
- Private networking between colo and cloud via internal VLANs
- Use cloud instances for burst capacity while keeping steady-state workloads on your own hardware
- Back up colocated servers to HUC S3 with zero transfer cost
