Citynet: Charleston Data Center

The Citynet Charleston Data Center, operated by Citynet and located at 233 Virginia Street East (also listed as 226 Kanawha Boulevard) in downtown Charleston, West Virginia, offers a strategically positioned colocation facility within the Mountain State’s capital. 

From a connectivity and infrastructure standpoint, the Charleston facility benefits from West Virginia’s comparatively lower risk of seismic activity and major coastal events while still providing East-Coast access to national networks. This downtown setting ensures proximity to local telecom infrastructure, multiple fiber paths, and competitive utility availability. The facility is designed to support mission-critical applications, disaster recovery, and regional hosting services with managed scale and flexibility.
