Hosting

Your machines.
Stranded power.
Your bitcoin.

Once hosting capacity and timing are confirmed, you buy the machines from us and we handle everything from the pad to the pool: metered power, cooling, network, security, and hands on site. Your hashrate points where you tell it to, and payouts never touch our wallet.

Inside the container

Where your machines actually sit.

The same list again, as a place: a closed water loop, your racks in the middle, metering on every circuit, and the heat leaving through the cooler on the roof. Pull the slider to go from the whole container down to a single machine.

Discounts are indicative. The rate they apply to, whether and how that rate changes over the term, and what a prepayment covers are set out in your hosting agreement.

Capacity, hosting rates and availability are indicative estimates and are confirmed on your hosting agreement. Rates are quoted per kilowatt-hour, metered at the PDU. Ask about any region and we will reply by email.

What hosting includesPower, cooling, network and on-site support.
What you get

Everything between the pad and the pool.

Power, cooling, network, monitoring and hands on site. Your quote sets out what the hosting rate covers and anything billed separately.

Power
Metered at the PDU, billed on actual draw — not nameplate. Backup planned for the Alberta site: a standby generator. Primary supply and backup at other locations are confirmed per site, in writing.
Cooling
Hydro-cooled containers on a closed water loop. No air crosses your machines. Coolant temperature range confirmed per site, in writing. Hydro-capable models only — we confirm yours before anything ships.
Network
Your pool endpoints and stratum ports open by default. Uplink type and redundancy confirmed per site, in writing. Static addressing per container.
Monitoring
Per-machine hashrate, board temperature, coolant inlet and outlet temperature, and power draw, sampled continuously, with automated alerts.
Remote hands
Reboots, reseats, firmware, coupling and PSU swaps, and hashboard replacement from on-site spares. How labour and parts are charged, and response targets, are set out in your hosting agreement.
Security
Your units are asset-tagged and inventoried on arrival. Site security measures confirmed per site, in writing.
Firmware & tuning
Optional efficiency profiles, underclocking, and curtailment-aware tuning — only with your written approval. Stock firmware stays stock unless you ask otherwise.
Payouts
Straight from your pool account to your wallet. We are never in the custody path. You hold the keys and the pool credentials. We only need read access for reporting.
Rates & contract termsBilling, deposits, minimums and exit terms.

Before anything ships

What we need from you.

Hosting is for machines bought through Proton. Pick them from our catalogue and enquire about hardware and future hosting together. Hosting depends on confirmed capacity and site readiness.

Short list, and shorter because the machines come from us.

  • Machine selection. Model and quantity from our catalogue. We confirm the cooling slot before anything ships.
  • Pool configuration. Your pool, your worker naming, your payout address. We configure to your spec and never change it.
  • Read-only pool access. An API key so our reporting can reconcile your payouts against measured hashrate. Read scope only.
  • Freight. We arrange inbound from the supplier, receive, inspect, photograph, and report any damage within the window set out in your hosting agreement.
  • Signed agreement and deposit. Then we schedule your rack window.
Getting startedQuote, reserve, deliver and go live.
Onboarding

From first call to first share.

Timing depends on a confirmed opening, site readiness and freight. Proposed locations have no confirmed hosting start date.

Scope and quote

You choose the machines and a preferred start date. We review future availability and site readiness, then confirm whether we can offer capacity and terms. An enquiry about a proposed location does not reserve a slot or establish a start date.

Agreement and deposit

Hosting agreement signed, deposit received, capacity reserved in your name, and an account contact assigned.

Freight and receiving

Your machines ship from the supplier to the site address on the agreement. Every pallet is opened, counted, serial-scanned, and photographed. Discrepancies are reported before anything is racked.

Rack and commission

Units are installed, mapped to your account, pointed at your pool, and burned in. We do not call a machine live until it is holding rated hashrate at rated power.

Live and reporting

Dashboard access and alerts once your machines are live, and your first statement at the end of the billing period. From there it is our job to keep it boring.

Common questions
Questions

Things people ask before signing.

Who holds the bitcoin?

You do. Your machines mine to your pool account under your credentials, and the pool pays your wallet directly. Proton never takes custody of mined bitcoin at any point, and we do not need your withdrawal keys to run your fleet. The only access we ask for is a read-only pool API key so reporting can reconcile.

Can you host machines I bought elsewhere?

No. Hosting (colocation) is only for machines bought through Proton. We confirm each model is hydro-capable before anything ships, and the machines remain yours.

What happens when a machine fails?

Alerting fires the moment a unit drops below its expected hashrate or overheats. The on-site response follows the standard path — reboot, reseat, swap the PSU, then swap the hashboard from spares. If a unit needs a manufacturer RMA, we pull it, document it, and coordinate with you on the return. How labour and parts are charged is set out in your hosting agreement.

Do I pay for power when the site is curtailed?

No. Power is billed on metered draw, so if the machines are off, there is no power to bill. Curtailment events appear on your statement with start time, duration, and cause, so downtime always reconciles against your pool numbers.

Can I move my machines out before the term ends?

Early exit, notice periods, fees and deposit treatment are set out in your hosting agreement. When machines leave, we de-rack, palletize, and stage them for your carrier at a cost quoted in writing.

Why can stranded power cost less than the grid?

Proposed projects may use stranded gas or power that would otherwise be curtailed. Those sources can have fewer competing buyers, but delivered costs, supply arrangements and interruption terms must be confirmed for each location. A proposed rate is not an offer of operating capacity.

What size deployment do you actually want?

The minimum is set per site and stated in your quote. Terms for larger fleets are agreed per site, in writing. Tell us the fleet you plan to buy and we will tell you whether we can host it.

Choose your machines.

Pick them from the catalogue and tell us your preferred timing. We will review future hosting availability with you; capacity, rates and start dates depend on site readiness and a confirmed offer.
