- How many colocation providers does viabandwidth list?
- viabandwidth tracks 2,649 verified colocation operators across 76 countries, including 0 verified direct operators and 0 carrier-neutral operators.
- How is this different from a colocation listings site?
- Listings sites surface operator-supplied marketing data. viabandwidth classifies operator type (direct, carrier-neutral, marketplace, or reseller) against public network evidence, and the full operator profile, including the direct contact route, is free to read. Operators can claim their listing to manage it and receive buyer inquiries directly.
- What does it cost to use the directory?
- The directory is free to use. Browsing operators, certifications, network presence, country coverage, and each operator's direct sales contact all cost nothing. Operators pay only if they choose to claim their listing for premium placement and lead routing.
- What does verified mean here?
- A verified direct operator is one where viabandwidth has independently confirmed the operator runs its own infrastructure using network evidence: announced prefixes from the operator's autonomous system and operator-domain matching against the operator's own published records.
