*📜 Plan description

The 1st Rack plan is a monthly full-rack colocation package priced at $875 for the first rack. The base price includes a 42U custom lockable rack, 10 Mbit/s of dedicated unmetered burstable Cogent connectivity, a 1 Mbit/s blended BGP connection for management traffic, and one 120V 20A power circuit. A full Class C IPv4 allocation is included, represented as 256 addresses before any network and broadcast reservations. The rack receives a Gigabit uplink to the core, a customer portal for bandwidth and power monitoring, a grounded and bonded 24-inch raised floor, and a manageable 24-port APC power distribution unit. Power can be supplied at 120V or 240V, with redundant capacity, N+1 UPS and generator support, and rack densities designed for at least 5 kW. Higher densities above 10 kW and even 30 kW can be accommodated with additional engineering and charges. Optional monthly additions include 20A 120V circuits for $175 each, 10A 240V circuits for $175 each, a redundant switch to the second core for $50, a second metered and managed 24-port power strip for $50, and fiber or copper patches to other racks or rooms for $50 each. Additional bandwidth is available at published per-Mbit rates, including blended BGP, Cogent, private transport, and cross-connect options. Remote eyes-and-hands work is available at $100 per hour. Both front and rear rack access are available, private workrooms can be used without an additional charge, and network switching supports fast crossover to alternate routers, switches, providers, and paths.

The colocation environment is housed in a hardened underground Iowa data center built for continuous operation and physical protection. The 65,000-square-foot facility contains 38,000 square feet of usable data-floor space and keeps critical mechanical, electrical, cooling, and network systems underground. Resilience includes reinforced-concrete construction, military-standard EMP shielding, multizone fire suppression, underground water storage, shock-mounted critical equipment, filtered air, and multiple isolated infrastructure zones. Power uses independent A and B paths, conditioned UPS delivery, a dedicated ring-fed substation, and three turbine generator packages capable of redundant operation. Cooling is supplied through multiple independent DX units, economizers, dry coolers, chilled-water loops, and an emergency N+2 overhead airflow system. Connectivity includes 192 fiber strands entering from four directions, a separately owned path to the Des Moines telecom hotel, access to several Tier 1 and regional carriers, telecom-grade routers and switches, IPv4 and IPv6 support, and rapid automatic failover. Blended BGP bandwidth is engineered for optimal routing and carries a 100% uptime guarantee, while bandwidth is kept free from oversubscription. Security begins at a separate surface entrance and continues through 4.5-ton steel man-trap doors using keycard, biometric, and keypad verification. Internal doors, surveillance, entry logging, equipment screening, and restricted access protect the data floor. The remote location reduces exposure to traffic, urban utility failures, chemical incidents, and severe local disruption. The site is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Sustainability measures include renewable-energy use, free cooling, efficient motors and chillers, recycling, wastewater treatment, grey-water reuse, and an average PUE reported around 1.2 to 1.28.

📄 Editorial Review

InfoBunker is a privately held American colocation and data-center company founded in 2003 by Jason McGinnis and Jeff Daniels. The company acquired its primary Iowa facility shortly after formation, rebuilt its technical infrastructure, and began serving customers in 2006.

This is a specialized infrastructure provider rather than a conventional shared-hosting company. Its main services include per-unit colocation, full-rack colocation, private data-center suites, secure vaults, dedicated servers, network connectivity, disaster-recovery offices, and mobile recovery facilities. The company is particularly suitable for healthcare organizations, telecommunications businesses, insurers, government agencies, biotechnology companies, and other customers that place strong physical security and business continuity above inexpensive entry-level hosting.

The primary facility contains approximately 65,000 square feet, with around 38,000 square feet of usable data-floor space, inside a former government communications bunker constructed during the Cold War. The critical infrastructure is underground and protected by reinforced concrete, heavy steel security doors, electromagnetic-pulse shielding, shock-mounted equipment, nuclear, biological, and chemical air filtration, underground water reserves, and independent emergency power.

Physical access is controlled through keycards, biometric verification, security codes, mantrap-style entrances, magnetic locks, steel bolts, video surveillance, and permanently staffed security procedures. The building was originally engineered to keep sensitive communications equipment operational during military emergencies and major civil disruptions.

Per-U Colocation is intended for customers that need space for one or several servers without leasing a complete rack. The service includes placement in a lockable shared cabinet, bandwidth, IP addresses, monitored power, Gigabit connectivity, and remotely managed power outlets. Separate work areas allow customers to service hardware without working directly inside the restricted data-floor aisles.

Full Rack Colocation includes lockable 42U cabinets, Gigabit network connections, monitored APC power distribution, and support for relatively dense deployments. Standard racks can accommodate at least 5 kW, while custom installations can exceed 10 kW and reach approximately 30 kW when the necessary electrical and cooling capacity is reserved. Redundant top-of-rack switching and alternate network paths are also available.

Customers requiring multiple cabinets can use Private Data Center Suites. These are individually secured rooms rather than conventional wire cages and generally begin at approximately 160 square feet. Private suites include dedicated access controls, video monitoring, independent fire suppression, cooling, dual network connections, and preinstalled copper, fiber, and electrical infrastructure. Standard private-suite agreements require a three-year commitment.

The highest-security option is the Data Center Vault service. Vaults range from approximately 600 square feet to more than 10,000 square feet and use reinforced-concrete walls, heavy structural steel, and GSA-rated Class 5 or stronger armory doors. SCIF and TEMPEST construction can be included for government, defense, and highly sensitive commercial installations.

Dedicated Server Hosting is available on IBM BladeCenter infrastructure. The packages include full root access, CentOS, redundant management and power modules, UPS and generator protection, bandwidth monitoring, unlimited email support, and a four-hour hardware replacement guarantee. Additional storage, memory, RAID, bandwidth, operating systems, and monitoring services can be configured.

The dedicated-server range uses older Intel Xeon 5400 and 5500-series processors, SAS or SATA disks, and between 8 GB and 24 GB of memory. These configurations are considerably older than modern cloud and bare-metal platforms, so customers should confirm the availability of newer processors, SSD or NVMe storage, and current operating systems before signing a contract.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity services are an important part of the company’s portfolio. Three recovery suites can accommodate up to 30 people and include telephones, network access, Internet connectivity, meeting areas, kitchens, showers, and staff parking. Instead of maintaining a permanently reserved office at full monthly cost, customers can pay for recovery capacity per person and per day when the service is activated.

Custom Mobile Recovery Trailers provide temporary workstations, communications equipment, generator power, redundant cooling, and storage outside the primary facility. Optional equipment can include satellite communications, operations-center displays, kitchens, restrooms, sleeping areas, UPS systems, and additional technical infrastructure. These units can function as mobile offices, emergency command centers, or temporary data-center environments.

The website is available in English, and prices are expressed in US dollars. Its narrow page layout, static .shtml structure, and older product terminology give it a legacy appearance. The information remains practical, but the design is less modern and less mobile-friendly than the websites of newer colocation and cloud providers.
