What Edge Hosting does

Edge Hosting, founded in 1989 and headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, is positioned as an enterprise-class provider of data center, cloud, and interconnection services. The contact infrastructure (sales line 800.840.7533) aligns with the broader DataBank platform, indicating Edge Hosting operates within or alongside a larger data center footprint of 76 facilities across 27+ US metropolitan markets plus a London (UK) location, encompassing 4.98 million square feet of IT space and 1GW of critical IT load. Geographic positioning places infrastructure within 100 miles of 60%+ of the US population (approximately 209 million people), supporting an edge computing strategy.

The product portfolio spans colocation (cabinets, cages, custom suites with remote hands support), enterprise cloud computing, FedRAMP-compliant government cloud, bare metal hosting, interconnection services (cross-connects, cloud on-ramps, Tier-1 Internet access), and managed services including managed security and Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service. Infrastructure is engineered for AI and HPC workloads via high-density configurations, liquid cooling, direct chip cooling, and rear door heat exchangers. A unified DataBank Portal serves as the single-pane-of-glass management interface across all service lines, and the Interconnection Marketplace formalizes an ecosystem layer connecting networks, cloud providers, and enterprises.

Revenue mechanics are subscription-based and recurring across all five service lines, with quote-based pricing for custom infrastructure solutions rather than publicly disclosed rates. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting enterprises, technology developers, content providers, and government agencies, supplemented by a partner program for resellers and system integrators. The compliance footprint (FedRAMP, FISMA, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 1/2, ISO 27001, GDPR, StateRAMP, ITAR, NIST 800-53) materially expands the addressable workload universe. The Edge Hosting firmographic lists 101–250 employees, which likely reflects a sub-entity within the broader 76-facility platform.
