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.

Power
Nameplate, actual draw and what your bill is built on
Nameplate rating, measured draw and billed consumption are three numbers. Which one your agreement uses decides what you pay each month.
Infrastructure
Switchgear, transformers and the lead times that decide your schedule
The long-lead items behind a site, what a real delivery date looks like, and how to tell a plan with a purchase order from a plan without one.
Operations
Minimum terms, notice periods and getting out
Termination read from both sides: what a minimum term protects, where the asymmetry usually sits, and what an orderly exit looks like.
Operations
What a site visit should tell you
What to look at when you visit a hosting site before signing, and which of your questions are better answered standing in front of the gear.
Operations
Uptime, availability and what a number without a definition is worth
How availability is measured, why two hosts quoting 99 percent mean different things, and which definition you want in your agreement.
Power
Curtailment, what it costs and how to cap it
Hours per year, who calls them, and whether curtailed hours are billed. The clause that decides how much of your capacity you really get.
Operations
Reading your hosting invoice
What each line on a hosting invoice means, which ones can change during the term, and what to check before you pay the first one.
Power
How a hosting rate is actually built
Energy, transmission and distribution, taxes and levies, operations and margin, plus indexation, so you can compare offers that use the same words.
Operations
From purchase order to running fleet
The full deployment path from order to stable operation, with the steps that decide whether the schedule holds and the ones that usually slip.
