Frequently asked questions
What does NYCDataCenters.com do?
We are an independent sourcing and referral service for data center space in the New York metro. You describe the space, power, connectivity and timing you need; we match it against facilities in Manhattan, New Jersey, Long Island and Westchester, check fit, and introduce you to the options that work. You contract, pay and are supported directly by the facility you choose. We do not own or operate data centers.
Does it cost anything to use?
Requesting quotes and introductions is free, with no obligation. We are typically paid a referral fee by the provider you choose; nothing is ever charged to you without your written agreement.
Should I colocate in Manhattan or New Jersey?
It depends on what the space is for. Manhattan carrier hotels are the place for interconnection: reaching many carriers, exchanges and clouds with short cross-connects. New Jersey facilities generally offer more room and power per building. Many companies keep a small interconnection footprint in Manhattan and put the bulk of their equipment in New Jersey. Tick both on the form and we will compare them for you.
Which areas do you cover?
The whole New York metro: Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island; Secaucus and the Meadowlands, Weehawken and Jersey City, Newark and Clifton, Piscataway and central New Jersey, and the northern New Jersey suburbs; plus Long Island, Westchester and Rockland. If you are flexible, pick Anywhere in the NYC metro on the form.
What sizes of requirement do you handle?
From a single cabinet or a few rack units in a carrier hotel to cages, private suites and wholesale space, including high-density and liquid-cooled deployments.
Why don’t you list prices?
Colocation pricing depends on power, density, term, location within the metro and connectivity, and it changes with availability. Our pricing guide explains what drives the number. For an actual figure, we get you written quotes for your specification.
Where does the facility directory come from?
From PeeringDB, the public database of interconnection facilities, networks and internet exchanges, used with permission. It shows each facility’s operator, address and the networks, carriers and exchanges listed there. Being listed does not mean a facility works with us or endorses this site.
Who sees my company name?
Until you give permission on the form, facilities see only an anonymized summary of your requirements. With your permission, we share your company name and requirements only with the facilities or providers selected to quote them.
Can you help with GPU capacity, not just space?
Yes. Tell us the GPU model, count, fabric and whether you bring your own servers. We can source high-density colocation for your hardware, or GPU capacity itself.
How quickly will I hear back?
Usually within one business day, with questions or a first set of options. Large or multi-site requirements take longer to scope, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can I put a small interconnection footprint in Manhattan and the rest in New Jersey?
Yes, and it is a common design. Tell us what needs to sit near the meet-me room and what can live elsewhere, and we will quote both sides and the connectivity between them.
A facility’s details look wrong. How do I fix them?
The directory mirrors PeeringDB. Operators can update their facility on PeeringDB, and the change appears here at our next refresh.
Are you a data center operator or a partner of the facilities listed?
Neither. NYCDataCenters.com is an independent service operated by Wells Software Consulting LLC. Facilities in the directory come from PeeringDB and are listed factually; a listing does not mean a partnership or endorsement.
