What is Mining Hosting?
Mining hosting (also called colocation) means you own the mining hardware, but it runs in a professional data center. The host provides power, cooling, internet, security, and maintenance while you keep 100% of the Bitcoin mined.
This is ideal for miners who want the economics of owning hardware without the hassles of noise, heat, electricity setup, or 24/7 monitoring.
Benefits of Hosted Mining
No Noise or Heat
ASICs are loud (70+ dB) and hot (3000W+). Hosting keeps them out of your home.
Lower Power Costs
Industrial facilities get bulk electricity rates (often $0.05-0.08/kWh).
Uptime & Monitoring
Professional facilities have reliable power, cooling, and 24/7 staff.
Scalability
Deploy 1 miner or 100. Hosts handle capacity and infrastructure.
Understanding Hosting Costs
Hosting fees typically have two components:
Electricity Rate (per kWh)
This is your main cost. Rates range from $0.05 to $0.10/kWh depending on location and contract size.
Example: A 3000W miner at $0.065/kWh costs ~$140/month in power.
Hosting Fee (per kW or flat rate)
Covers rack space, cooling, internet, and management. Often $15-30/kW/month or bundled into electricity.
Example: $20/kW × 3kW = $60/month + $140 power = $200/month total.
💡 Pro Tip
Always ask for the "all-in" rate. Some hosts quote low power rates but add hidden fees. Transparent hosts will tell you the total cost per kWh upfront.
