What Coolhousing does

Coolhousing s.r.o. is a privately held Czech data center operator founded in 2003, headquartered in Prague with a single owned facility on Vinohradská Street spanning three ISO 9001/27001-certified server rooms (S1, S2, S3) and approximately 2,000 professional servers under management. The company delivers a portfolio of hosting and infrastructure services: VPS hosting on AMD EPYC with NVMe SSD and Proxmox VE, dedicated servers with up to 10 Gbps connectivity, managed server administration, server and rack colocation, NAS rentals (Synology, QNAP), and ancillary services including VPN/firewall, server monitoring, KVM over IP, Microsoft SPLA licensing, external data storage, TV/Media reception, and dedicated data circuits. The underlying network is built on a multivendor Juniper and Cisco Spine & Leaf topology with ECMP routing, connected to the NIX.CZ exchange at 25 Gbps, dual transit providers (Vodafone Business, ComSource), and three independent optical routes for geographic redundancy; power is protected by three independent central UPS circuits (up to 98% efficiency) with Cummins and SDMO diesel backup, and cooling is delivered through Toshiba inverters augmented by a freecooling system that has demonstrated a 34.8% median reduction in cooling power consumption.

Go-to-market is hybrid: a self-service online channel with sub-2-minute VPS provisioning through the ControlPanel serves the long tail of SMEs and developers, while a sales-assisted motion handles enterprise and custom colocation deployments. Revenue is overwhelmingly subscription-based monthly recurring across VPS (from €5.18/mo), dedicated servers (from €84/mo), colocation (from €27.90/mo), rack housing (from 6,300 Kč/mo), and managed services (from 5,667 Kč/mo), with professional services and Microsoft licensing as upsell. The customer base spans energy/utilities (ČEZ), IT/telecom (ICZ a.s., TELE3), government (Czech Statistical Office), education (Charles University, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague), financial trading (X-Trade Brokers), gaming (Fortuna Game), retail (Manufaktura), navigation (NAVITEL), and AI-adjacent startups (The Mama AI), giving the company a diversified but Czech-centric concentration. The company is independently owned, has no disclosed external funding, and operates with a very small team (1-10 employees), indicating a lean, infrastructure-automated operating model.
