NCXHost colocation plans listed on our website are non-managed colocation plans by default. These plans are designed to provide customers with reliable data center infrastructure for hosting their own physical appliances/servers inside our rack space.
1. What Is Included in Standard Colocation Plans
The standard colocation plan includes infrastructure-level services only. NCXHost is responsible for providing and maintaining the following:
- Redundant electricity
- Cooling
- Internet/network connectivity
- Rack space infrastructure
- Support for issues arising from the above NCXHost-managed infrastructure
If any issue occurs due to power, cooling, network connectivity, or rack infrastructure from our side, NCXHost will take responsibility and resolve it as part of the colocation service.
2. What Is Not Included in Standard Colocation Plans
Standard colocation plans do not include server management, hardware troubleshooting, operating system support, software support, or application-level support.

- Application troubleshooting
- BIOS, iDRAC, IPMI, or firmware configuration
- Physical component removal, cleaning, reattachment, or replacement

6. Important Clarification
NCXHostโs responsibility under standard colocation is limited to data center infrastructure, including power, cooling, network connectivity, and rack space. The customer remains responsible for the condition, configuration, maintenance, and operation of their own server hardware, software, and applications unless a managed service add-on has been purchased.
Any support requested beyond the included infrastructure scope will be considered chargeable Remote Hands Support.
7. Billing Continuity While Server Is in Rack
As long as your server/appliance remains installed in our rack space, the colocation billing will continue as per your subscribed plan, regardless of whether the server is powered on, powered off, actively used, idle, or temporarily not in service.
Billing will stop only after the server/appliance is formally removed from our rack space and the service cancellation/removal process is completed.
