Running other people's production since 2009.
Axcelx was founded in New Hampshire in 2009 and moved to Massachusetts in 2023 to sit closer to the customers it serves. Our founder has worked in datacenter and hosting engineering since 1997.
The network
Most network pages are marketing. Ours is a config.
The Axcelx backbone is fully redundant and self-healing. Juniper MX204 and MX104 routers scale from 160 Gbps to 800 Gbps and connect to the core and distribution layer over multiple 80G virtual port channels. Every access switch carries at least 50 Gbps of uplink, and customer hand-offs are a full 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps.
- No throttling, no port blocking, no QoS shaping. We believe in net neutrality and we do not sell you an exemption from it.
- Bursting is included, not upsold. If your server needs the capacity, the capacity is there.
- Juniper, Arista and Cisco in production, chosen per layer rather than per vendor contract.

Common questions about Boston colocation.
How much does server colocation cost in Boston?
Axcelx quotes Boston colocation per deployment rather than publishing a rate card, because power draw, port speed and cabinet share vary widely between one 1U server and a half cabinet. Request a quote and we size it against your actual hardware. Virtual servers start at $20 per month, high availability cloud at $40 per month and dedicated servers at $145 per month.
Where is the Axcelx Boston data center?
Customer hardware is housed at CoreSite BO1, 70 Innerbelt Road in Somerville, Massachusetts, a 276,000 square foot carrier-neutral facility next to Cambridge and downtown Boston. The Axcelx office is at 21 Cummings Park, Suite 280, Woburn, MA 01801.
Does Axcelx require a long-term contract or a bandwidth commit?
No. Colocation, dedicated servers, virtual servers and internet access are all billed monthly with no term commitment and no commit level. Bandwidth bursting is included rather than sold as an upgrade.
Can I run BGP with my own IP space?
Yes. BGP sessions for IPv4 and IPv6 are available to colocation, dedicated server and virtual server customers at both the Boston and Charlotte facilities. Axcelx operates AS33083 and peers through TowardEX, MASS-IX, Cogent, Hurricane Electric and CoreSite ANY2.
How quickly can a server be turned up?
Axcelx guarantees a 24 hour setup time, excluding weekends. Virtual servers and internet access circuits are typically provisioned the same day.
Does Axcelx provide remote hands in Boston?
Yes, and you do not need a cabinet with us to use them. Certified technicians dispatch to datacenters across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, billed hourly with a one hour minimum. With a certificate of insurance on file, emergency dispatch begins within 15 minutes of a call or email during business hours.
Tell us what you are trying to run.
We will size it honestly, quote it once, and turn it up inside 24 hours. No commit levels, no term sheets, no surprise first invoice.
