firstcolo operates data centers in the Rhine-Main area, with its main sites in Frankfurt am Main directly connected to the DE-CIX internet exchange. Its services cover colocation and server housing (including private cages and dedicated servers), the firstcloud and firstkube cloud platforms, managed hosting and managed services, DDoS protection and IP transit. The data centers are certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 9001, are TÜV-certified as Stufe 3 data centers and are PCI DSS certified, and the company states that they run on 100 % renewable electricity.

Customers are businesses that outsource hosting and IT infrastructure, including cloud providers that run their platforms from firstcolo facilities. The company offers modular services that can be combined, and it sells them on a quote basis. Case studies on its site include LifeinCloud and LumaDock, which run a high-availability availability zone at firstcolo in Frankfurt.

The company was founded in 2007 and states that it has over 80 employees across the DACH region. It is owned by the infrastructure investor Cube Infrastructure Managers, after which it was renamed firstcolo GmbH; earlier it was named diva-e Datacenters GmbH. Locations include a redundancy site in Zürich, a point of presence in Munich, and a new AI-ready data center, FRA7, under construction in Rosbach near Frankfurt.
