Notes from the sites.
What we learn running industrial hosting: power, contracts, cooling and operations. Written for the people who place hardware, not for search engines.

Everything we have published
Industry
Build or host, a line-by-line cost comparison
Every cost line on the build side and the host side, including the ones first estimates leave out, so you can price both routes with your own quotes.
Operations
Hardware logistics across borders
Customs, import duty, serial records and insurance in transit. The unglamorous half of a deployment that decides when your fleet earns.
Operations
Why hosts fail, and the pattern from outside
Warning signs a customer can see before an operator stops paying its power bill, and what to do with them while you still have options.
Power
Energy hedging for hosting customers, the simple versions
Fixed, indexed and capped: the three shapes a hosting customer meets in practice, what each one costs and which risk it removes.
Infrastructure
Site selection, six things that cannot be fixed later
Power, land, climate, connectivity, permits and neighbours. The decisions that are made once, and everything else you can still change.
Operations
Decommissioning and return shipping
The end of a contract, planned rather than improvised: shutdown, packing, documentation and who pays for which part of the way out.
Power
Grid connection, the steps and the lead times
From application to energisation, with the stages that dominate the schedule and the ones that only look like they matter.
Operations
Buying used ASICs, what hosting teaches you about condition
The signals visible from the operations side of a fleet, and what a buyer can reasonably ask a seller to prove before the money moves.
Infrastructure
Noise, what it costs and where it decides the site
Mitigation, permits and the neighbours who decide your future. Why noise is the constraint that closes sites which had everything else right.
