QuadraNet

What QuadraNet actually is

QuadraNet Enterprises LLC is a Los Angeles data center and hosting company founded in 2001 — starting, by its own account, as a telecommunications provider and expanding into what it sells today: dedicated servers, colocation, private cloud, managed IaaS, IP transit, and DDoS mitigation. It is headquartered next to the One Wilshire building in downtown Los Angeles (530 W. 6th Street), and it runs more than 400 fiber strands into the One Wilshire meet-me room to its private cage — the kind of physical detail that separates a network operator from an order form.

The footprint, per the company's own description: nine data centers, eight in the US and one in Europe — two in Los Angeles (the downtown facility and the carrier-neutral Century datacenter near LAX), Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New Jersey, Seattle, and Amsterdam. The Century facility is SSAE 16 Type 1 audited with redundant power delivery, and carriers on-net include QuadraNet itself, Cogent, Time Warner Business, Zayo, and AT&T. Compliance posture is stated as PCI and SOC2 compliant and HIPAA ready, with third-party audit control objectives — relevant if you are landing regulated workloads rather than a game server.

The product menu is familiar for the category — bare metal configured to order through the NEO client portal (automated OS installs included), colocation from single servers to full locking cabinets, private cloud, and enterprise add-ons like backups and DNS hosting. What we like from the public pages: they publish test IPs and download files per datacenter so you can check latency and throughput before buying, and they offer 24/7 on-site engineers with free remote hands for colocation customers. Ownership is not purely founder-run anymore — private equity firm VSS invested in QuadraNet in 2018 — but the operating identity has held: one brand, own equipment, own network gear, per the company's own forum postings.

Pricing: what you really pay

Here is where our review gets blunt. QuadraNet does not publish a clean price list on the pages a buyer can reach; the dedicated server flow is a custom configurator and much of the business runs through quotes. That is normal for colocation and enterprise deals and frustrating for a $100/month buyer. Our database carried a $60 starting price — we could not trace it to any current page and have corrected it to null.

What we could verify are the live specials on the vendor's dedicated-servers page (checked 2026): a high-end dedicated special at $399/month (Xeon E5-2698 v4, 256 GB RAM, 4x8TB SSD, 1 Gbps unmetered, /29 IPv4), and Los Angeles colocation cabinets at $699/month for the first six months on a one-year agreement ($999/month after) or $999/month for the first six months ($1,299/month after, no setup fee). The colo packages include 1 Gbps unmetered bandwidth, a /27 IPv4 allocation, 3 Gbps of VEST DDoS detect-and-mitigate, 24/7 KVM over IP, UPS and generator backup, and the 100% power uptime SLA. A 10 Gbps port upgrade is $49/month; full 10 Gbps unmetered is $749/month.

Historical promotions published through LowEndBox put entry dedicated servers as low as $39–45/month (older Core2Quad and Xeon E3 configurations) — so budget options exist in the pipeline, but we would not quote those as current pricing. Our practical guidance: use the configurator for a real number, ask sales to price-match (the company publicly advertises price matching), and read the SLA page before signing, because the contract terms are strict — annual terms can be cancelled with 60-day written notice only with all remaining charges immediately due, late fees accrue at 5% and then 10% of invoices, and SLA credits are withheld from accounts in "bad standing."

Performance & infrastructure

We have not benchmarked QuadraNet, so there are no /benchmarks numbers for it — what follows is architecture and contract, not measurement. The network story is strong on paper: multi-homed transit at the carrier-neutral Century facility, dense peering adjacency at One Wilshire, an air-side economizer in the LA buildings for cooling economics, and IPv6 support (the vendor publishes an IPv6 test address alongside the IPv4 one). Dedicated servers ship with 1 Gbps unmetered bandwidth on the current specials.

The SLA is the most specific document in this review's category. QuadraNet guarantees 99.999% network uptime — defined as no more than five minutes of network unreachability per month — with credits of 5% of the monthly invoice per thirty minutes of downtime, up to 100% of the base monthly recurring fee. Power is separately guaranteed at 100%, credited at 5% per sixty minutes, also up to a full month. Claims must be filed within 24 hours of an outage being restored. These are better numbers than the "99.9%" our database entry claimed, and the credit structure is genuinely generous — a full day of network downtime can erase the invoice rather than shave 10% off it.

The exclusions matter as much as the headline. The network SLA covers QuadraNet's internal infrastructure and transit connectivity; it excludes cabling faults, server-related outages, and the "enterprise" solutions (backups, DNS hosting, automated installations, APIs, the null-route utility). Power coverage extends to colocation circuits and QuadraNet-owned dedicated servers. Read that list twice: it tells you exactly which failure modes you can bill QuadraNet for and which are yours.

Where it falls short

Pricing opacity is the first gap. A buyer comparing dedicated servers wants a catalog, not a configurator plus a sales conversation, and the absence of a published entry price cost this review's database a valid data point. If transparent pricing is a hard requirement, this is friction you will feel every renewal.

Contract rigidity is the second. The combination of annual terms, remaining charges due on early cancellation, late-payment escalation to disconnection after two consecutive invoices, and credits withheld at QuadraNet's discretion for "bad standing" makes this a relationship vendor: fine if you plan to stay, poor if you want month-to-month flexibility. The vendor does mention flexible month-to-month arrangements in sales material — get whatever flexibility you were promised written into the order.

On the softer side: public reviews of support quality are mixed in the way they usually are for quote-driven hosts — enterprise customers with named engineers report well, and budget customers sometimes report slower handling. The current public specials skew toward high-end configurations, so bargain hunters mostly see prices that are not meant for them. And with only Amsterdam outside the US, Asia-Pacific and South American workloads have no home here.

One credit we will give on transparency: the SLA is posted publicly, in full, with the credit math and the exclusions spelled out. Plenty of hosts in this bracket make you request the document. When a company publishes the parts of its terms that favor the customer — and the parts that do not — we treat that as evidence about how the relationship will run when something breaks.

Who should pick this

Our pick for US-centric workloads that need colocation or dedicated hardware with contractual power and network guarantees — especially anything near Los Angeles, where the One Wilshire adjacency is a real routing advantage. Gaming backends, streaming origins, and agencies reselling hosting fit the profile, and regulated workloads get PCI/SOC2 language and audit objectives to point auditors at.

It is a worse fit for buyers who want self-serve pricing and instant hourly instances (look at the cloud providers in our /benchmarks comparison), for APAC audiences, and for anyone allergic to annual commitments. If you do engage, our advice: benchmark the route yourself with the published test IPs, negotiate the term in writing, and keep the 24-hour SLA-claim window on your runbook — the credit is only as good as the ticket you file.
