(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Colocation provider Colo5 (www.colo5.com) announced on Monday it has purchased a 20,000 square foot, free-standing data center in Jacksonville, Florida.
Though Colo5 did not disclose the terms of the agreement, the company says it will use the new data center to support its "rapidly expanding colocation and data recovery services platforms."
This marks the company's second data center.
Last September, Colo 5 opened a 122,000 square feet, Hurricane Category 5 rated data center in Jacksonville, which offers colocation and disaster recovery services.
"We are excited to have acquired a new additional data center in Jacksonville, given the increasing demand for our services," says Colo5 CEO, Doug Recker. "We've employed a model of smart growth and solid execution since inception, and we are especially pleased to offer a natural extension of our services to our growing customer base."
Colo5 expects to complete a state-of-the-art buildout of its new facility and begin taking new customers within the next three months.
The company will offer fiber, power, and managed services to its customers out of the new data center.
Colo5 provides colocation and data recovery services to customers nationwide.
The new data center brings Colo5's total data center footpring to over 140,000 square feet.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
