Welcome! We're a non-profit that is part of a global movement to provide free,
unencumbered Internet services to non-commercial entities. We're
wholly donation-based and are fervently free-speech. We've been
in operation since 2001 and currently host over 130
not-for-profit servers in the San Francisco Bay Area. We have
"sister sites" opening all around the world, including in
Seattle,
Chicago,
Toronto,
and Washington, D.C.
We also would love to help you
start a community colo project wherever you are.
Congratulations! CCCP Fremont is currently full! However, we still offer hosting on our virtual ser
vers, email lists, XEN hosts, and Domain Name Servers. For more information on our hosting solutio
ns, please contact questions@communitycolo.net

What do we do? We provide colocation. This is when you give us a computer
that has been configured to serve web pages and email (or other such tasks) and put it
in our facility, where your server is connected to the Internet at speeds up to twenty
thousand times faster than the very fastest dialup. We make sure that your computer stays
cool, doesn't have its power interrupted, and has a fast and reliable Internet connection.
Our Fremont, CA location has multi-gigabit redundant fiber links,
onsite physical security, locked cabinets,
commercial-grade UPS-backed power, access control lists, and active
environmental control. There is 24/7 onsite staffing for easy and
secure remote reboots and accessibility. We use Cisco managed switches
to monitor traffic flows and can provide serial console access for
those who need it.

|
What else do we do? We and our partners provide other services than colocation, all of which are also
free! These services include
Email lists,
Email accounts,
Web hosting (if
you don't have your own server),
DNS,
Website design,
Computer refurbishing,
and IT consulting.

|
What don't we do? We do not provide dialup, DSL, or cable modem connections from
your home or office to the Internet. Sorry! Maybe some day we'll be able to do this...

We are serving up thousands of websites,
covering everything from Open Source, to current events
in Argentina, to streaming MP3 Buddhist teachings, to personal
sites, to information about socialism. We even host the database backend
for the Special
Olympics.

CCCP has garnered international attention; our Founder
David Weekly
and CalTEG's
founder Graham Freeman spoke about CCCP and its
potential impact at the Palace of the United
Nations in Geneva at the WebForce conference on May 6-8, 2002.
We also hosted the 2003 Benefit Dinner at the annual CodeCon hacker
convention that went very well and raised nearly a thousand dollars
for our cause!

If this project sounds interesting, please consider
joining our discussion
list or making a tax-deductible
donation. (We're an official 501c3 charity.)
Our continued operations are dependent upon donations matching or
exceeding the cost of our operations, which are around $50 a month
for every server we host. So far, this has worked well, but we're
always living pretty close to the line. Since we're an 100% volunteer
organization, you can be assured that all of your money will go
towards helping not-for-profit organizations get Internet service.

We provide free colocated Internet access to individuals and non-profits. If you represent a not-for-profit endeavor that seeks to have a web presence, an email account, or a rackmount server of your own, we'd love to help you! |

You do not need to be an official non-profit organization to use our services, but you cannot be running any sort of a for-profit service. Fundraising, however, is okay. Join our mailing list if you're hosting with us or want to help out! If you're curious about hosting, send mail to questions@communitycolo.net with your questions! |
