The Planet really came on the scene around 2001 and they have grown like gang busters. They boast 167,000 square feet of data center in Texas taking over the enormous Broadwing facility off I-35 as well as huge spaces in the Infomart.

Apparently they found their niche which was managed servers and in 2005 they started raising the rates on their colocation customers forcing most of them to find new homes.

We recently learned that they are offering colocation again but their price points indicate they aren’t that excited about it.
