*📜 Plan description

Half cabinet colocation designed for those who want HC to handle the essentials while keeping day to day operations in house. The plan includes 20U rack space, a 1 Gbps network connection with 100 Mbps dedicated commit, Cacti graphing for bandwidth monitoring, and 8 Amps of power with a remote power reboot interface. IP resources are generous with a /28 IPv4 subnet and an IPv6 /64. KVM over IP is provided for remote management of your servers, and HC will manage IP and network settings with up to 1 hour per month of network administration included. Software installation and application support are excluded on this semi managed tier, but add on remote hands are available by the hour for occasional tasks. This model suits customers who operate their own stack yet want predictable facilities, power and network with light touch assistance from the provider.

Managed 20U Colocation => $989/mo.
Managed 42U Colocation => $1359/mo.
Included: Network and physical server management / OS installation, L.A.M.P stack system administration, and monitoring / Included Managed Service & Remote Hands (2 hours per month)

HC's colocation portfolio focuses on low latency peering to 80+ networks, remote power reboot at no extra cost, bandwidth analytics, IPv6 availability, and 24x7 NOC reachable by tickets, phone and live chat; customers choose US data centers, scale power or port speed, add management on demand, and benefit from a 99.99% network uptime target with predictable monthly pricing and optional remote hands.

📄 Editorial Review

Host Color is an infrastructure-first provider with roots in 2000 that has evolved from classic shared hosting into edge-located, semi-managed IaaS. They focus on placing compute close to users—across 100+ data centers worldwide—so apps see very low latency (often 1–5 ms to local markets) and predictable network performance. Their portfolio spans Shared Hosting (self-managed or managed), VPS (SATA or SSD on OpenVZ/KVM), Virtual Dedicated Servers, Bare-Metal/Dedicated, Cloud (Public, Hosted Private, Hybrid, Office), Colocation, and domain registration.

Technically, they lean on VMware-based HA clouds with fault-tolerant SAN storage and high-capacity links (1–100 Gbps), plus an edge footprint that includes Tier-III facilities (e.g., Southfield, MI) and access to major ecosystems like Equinix. Their semi-managed stance is practical: engineers handle OS installs/reinstalls, hardening, network tuning, panel setup (cPanel/DirectAdmin/Plesk or open-source panels), and troubleshooting—while customers retain full control of stack and architecture.

This makes them a strong fit for teams that need location choice + customization more than one-size-fits-all hosting: SaaS and e-commerce needing fast regional response, media/streaming and real-time APIs, EU/US split deployments, DR/BCP scenarios, or agencies/MSPs consolidating varied client workloads. Compared with hyperscale clouds, they emphasize transparent monthly fees (no nickel-and-diming for IOPS/DNS queries/egress add-ons) and human support. Trade-offs are mostly about complexity (lots of SKUs and tuning options), a few non-"unlimited" shared features, and the presence of legacy virtualization (OpenVZ) alongside KVM/VMware—so buyers should confirm the exact stack, SLA scope, and management boundaries per project.
