Our Story

We started RackWorks because we kept running into the same problem.

The Problem

Most hosting providers make you pick one or the other: solid hardware in a poorly connected facility, or a well-connected location running decade-old budget servers. Either way you're leaving something on the table. We thought that was a bad trade-off and decided not to make it.

What We Did About It

We moved our infrastructure to 123Net's Detroit-area data center in Southfield, Michigan and upgraded to Dell PowerEdge R640 servers running Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Modern hardware, on-site access to the Detroit Internet Exchange, and upstream routing to 90+ networks including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Cloudflare. No overselling, no surprises.

Who This Is For

If you need reliable compute for databases, APIs, and applications, and you also need your traffic to reach users fast, you shouldn't have to compromise on either. Current-generation hardware and Detroit-IX connected routing, at a price that actually makes sense.

Why RackWorks

What we do differently and why it matters for your workload.

No Overselling

A lot of providers pack hundreds of VMs onto overloaded nodes and hope nobody notices. We don't do that. When you buy 2 vCPUs, you get 2 vCPUs. Your neighbor's traffic spike is not your problem.

Honest Pricing

The price on the page is what you pay. No setup fees, no bandwidth overage surprises, no "introductory" rates that triple on renewal. We'd rather keep your business long-term than trick you into signing up.

Real Support

No ticket queues that take days. No chatbots. When you reach out, you talk to someone on our team who actually understands your server and can help fix the problem. That's it.

Modern Hardware

We run Dell PowerEdge R640 servers with Intel Xeon Scalable processors, hosted at 123Net's Detroit facility with on-site Detroit-IX access. You get current-generation compute and strong network connectivity. Not a trade-off between the two.

The Datacenter

Southfield, Michigan. On-site access to the Detroit Internet Exchange. This is not a warehouse with a shared uplink — it's a carrier-neutral facility that anchors the most connected network hub in the Great Lakes region.

Detroit-IX Connected

On-site access to the Detroit Internet Exchange, the largest fee-free IX in the world. Your traffic reaches 90+ member networks including Google, Amazon, Cloudflare and more without leaving the building.

Multi-Homed Network

Redundant upstream connectivity through multiple tier-1 carriers. If one path goes down, traffic automatically routes through another. No single point of failure.

Central US Routing

Detroit's geographic center gives you balanced latency to both coasts. New York under 20ms, Chicago under 10ms, good paths east and west without sacrificing either direction.

Redundant Power

20 MW facility with 2(N+1) cooling redundancy and diverse A/B power feeds. Your server stays on when the lights go out.

Physical Security

Multi-factor access controls, 24/7/365 on-site NOC, full CCTV coverage, and audited access logging. Your hardware is protected around the clock.

100% SSD Storage

Every server runs on solid-state drives. No spinning disks. Consistent I/O, faster boots, reliable throughput for database and application workloads.
