CO-LOCATION SERVICES

Co-location service allows you to run your own web server or mail server and have high-speed dedicated Internet access. Your equipment will be physically located in our Network Operation Center at 340 Cumberland Avenue in Portland. A co-located server allows you to directly connect to our bandwidth without having to pay loop charges to the phone company, and saves you the cost of setting up and maintaining space at your own facility.

If you are interested in co-locating your server with GWI, please complete the attached Co-location Application and we will call you with current availability. If you have questions about our co-location services, please contact our Sales Department at services@gwi.net or call 866-494-2020.
