Colocation (Mining Hosting)

Hosting bridges the gap between home mining (noise, residential power prices) and building a farm. You buy the ASICs; the host provides racking, industrial electricity at a quoted all-in rate (typically $0.06–$0.09/kWh in 2026), cooling, and basic maintenance, billed monthly per kilowatt.

Due diligence is everything: verify the facility exists, check uptime SLAs, payment terms on curtailment, and who controls the pool account. The sector has a history of overselling capacity — never prepay long terms to an unproven host.
