*📜 Plan description

This E3-1220 v1 plan is an entry level single processor dedicated server designed for organizations that need isolated hardware at a very low monthly rate while still benefiting from carrier grade infrastructure. It uses an Intel Xeon E3-1220 v1 CPU with 4 cores and 4 threads running at 3.10 GHz base frequency, which delivers solid performance for small business sites, development environments, staging systems or lightweight application servers. The base configuration assumes 16GB of RAM, with upgrade paths to higher capacities, and up to four internal drives so the hardware can grow with the workload. A 512GB SSD is used here as the reference primary drive, giving fast random access for operating system files, applications and frequently accessed data, while additional SSD or HDD drives can be added for bulk storage or RAID arrays. Included bandwidth for this configuration is 15TB per month on a 1Gbps port, providing enough transfer headroom for typical web and application traffic, with options to raise the transfer cap when ordering if analytics or media delivery demand more. IPv4 address space starts from a slash 29 with 5 usable addresses that can be assigned to front end services, secure management interfaces or VPN entry points, and larger blocks are available on request. The order form allows the operating system to be chosen from a wide range of Linux distributions or Windows Server editions and offers optional cPanel with WHM or Plesk licences so teams can decide how much of the administration is done through a graphical control panel versus direct shell access.

All of these dedicated server plans are housed in carrier neutral data centers in Los Angeles with direct access to a blended network of more than two hundred providers and a dedicated 1Gbps uplink on every server. The facilities are designed around redundant power, UPS systems and backup diesel generators so the environment can sustain a 100 percent network uptime commitment and keep workloads online through power or network disruptions. Each plan includes free setup, 24x7 on site staff, proactive monitoring, free software checks and remote reboots so administrators do not need to be physically present in the data center. Customers can choose Linux or Windows as the operating system, including common distributions such as CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo, Red Hat Enterprise and openSUSE or Windows Server 2019 Standard and Datacenter as well as hypervisor platforms like ESXI, VMware ESX and Citrix XenServer when virtualization is required. A wide menu of storage options is available ranging from SSD to large capacity HDDs with optional RAID, while bandwidth can be adjusted from the included commit up to higher levels such as 60TB or 100TB on the same 1Gbps port. IPv4 allocations are flexible, starting from small slash 29 ranges with 5 usable addresses and scaling through slash 24 as justified, with IPv6 and dedicated firewalls available as add ons for more demanding deployments.

Beyond raw specifications, the dedicated hosting environment is intended to provide a stable and secure platform for business critical services. Companies can deploy websites, application servers, databases, VoIP platforms or custom enterprise software on isolated hardware that is not shared with other tenants, which improves performance consistency and simplifies compliance. Hardware upgrades, such as additional RAM or new storage, can be provisioned in less than a day so the platform can grow alongside the organization without forcing a migration to a different provider. A dedicated account manager and a United States based support team are available by phone, email and live chat around the clock to help with planning, troubleshooting and ongoing optimization. Taken together, these characteristics make the Colocation America dedicated server portfolio suitable for projects that need predictable performance, long term scalability and data center level physical security without the capital expense of building an in house infrastructure.

📄 Editorial Review

Founded in 2000, ColocationAmerica is a US infrastructure provider focused on colocation, dedicated servers, and IP connectivity rather than entry-level shared hosting. The company operates its own presence in 22 data centers across eight major US markets, with a strong concentration in Los Angeles and additional facilities in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, New Jersey, Boston, Philadelphia, Connecticut, and Miami.

The service portfolio is built around what they call the "foundation" of IT: IP connectivity, colocation space, and server hardware. Colocation is a core offering, starting with single-server options (1U, 2U, and 4U) for businesses that just need to place one or a few machines in a professional facility. These plans include rack space, power, and a 1 Gbps network port with a dedicated bandwidth allocation, plus 24/7 support, free setup, and basic remote hands and reboots, which makes them suitable for small deployments that still require data center–grade reliability. For larger projects, there are quarter-rack (10U), half-rack (21U), and full-rack solutions that give more power and space, keeping the same model of bundled bandwidth, dedicated uplink, and round-the-clock support.

Dedicated servers form the second major pillar. Single-processor plans start with an entry-level E3-1220 v1 box and go up to more powerful E3 and E5 platforms, while pre-built dual-processor options use modern Intel Xeon Silver and E5 CPUs. Across these configurations, each server includes a 1 Gbps network port, large traffic allowances (typically 15–30 TB per month), free setup, and 24/7 support and reboots. Hardware can be customized via order forms that let customers choose CPU, RAM, SSD/HDD combinations, bandwidth tier, and IPv4 allocation. For operating systems, they support a wide range of Linux distributions (CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, etc.) as well as Windows Server editions.

On top of the base dedicated machines, there is a managed hosting layer. Customers can opt for fully managed plans where Colocation America’s engineers handle system administration tasks, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance, which is useful for organizations without in-house sysadmin capacity. Additional services include managed colocation, Mac Mini hosting (popular for macOS-specific workloads or CI/CD), data storage and management, backup and recovery, and consulting. For connectivity, they offer IP transit services and "Connect to the Cloud" options that provide private, high-performance connections to major public cloud providers, positioning the platform as a hub for hybrid and multi-cloud architectures.

From a reliability and compliance perspective, Colocation America runs Tier III or comparable facilities with SSAE 18 SOC 2 certification and support for HIPAA- and PCI-sensitive workloads. The network is DDoS-protected, built with redundant power and network paths, and backed by a 100% network uptime guarantee, particularly emphasized for dedicated server and connectivity services. Around-the-clock on-site staff and remote access (including KVM/IP) keep the platform aligned with enterprise expectations.

Governance-wise, the company remains privately held and independent. As of 2025, Samantha Walters serves as CEO (after Albert A. Ahdoot), with a strategy focused on expanding US data center reach and evolving services for AI, edge, and modern infrastructure needs.
