Colocation

Last update: May 30 2026

Only servers that meet Selectel's equipment requirements can be colocated:

• Terms of use for individual services: Colocation;
• Technical specifications. Colocation for equipment with one power supply Unit in a server rack;
• Technical specifications. Colocation for equipment with two power supply Units in a server rack.

If your equipment requires special conditions for colocation, create a ticket. A Selectel employee will clarify the details and check the technical feasibility of the colocation.

1. Order the colocation service.
2. Prepare documents and details.
3. Prepare equipment for colocation.
4. Deliver equipment to the data center.

1. Order the colocation service

1. In the control panel, on the top menu, click Products and select Colocation.

2. Select a project.

3. Click Colocation.

4. Select a region and pool segment.

5. Enter the serial number of the equipment — it will be specified in the Delivery and acceptance form.

The paid period begins once the equipment is installed in the rack and connected to the network. By default, traffic is accounted for using a traffic consumption model with a fixed bandwidth (100 Mbps channel and unlimited traffic). You can change the traffic consumption model after the equipment is installed.

2. Prepare documents and details

To colocate equipment, two documents must be signed:

• "Communication services terms and conditions" for your account type, if you are colocating equipment for the first time. If you have previously signed the "Communication services terms and conditions" for colocation, you do not need to do so again;
• "Delivery and acceptance form.".

You can sign the documents in any way convenient for you:

• in person at the data center when transferring the equipment. The engineering and technical department will prepare the documents for your arrival at the data center;
• via the electronic document management (EDM) system for business accounts. Ensure that all company details are filled out in the control panel. You can change company details if necessary;
• in advance on paper. To do this, print the documents, sign them in two copies, and provide them along with the equipment.

The documents and details required to prepare for equipment transfer depend on the account type:
