If you know the MAC address and the right broadcast address it's possible -- only just possible -- that you might be able to send a wake-on-LAN signal to the subnet,, and have it received by your server. More likely, you won't be able to send that signal unless you actually ARE on that subnet. It's possible it won't abide by WOL at all.
Most likely, you'll need to contact the datacenter.

All x86 boxes are ATX now and therefore with the capability for external wakeups. Most x86 boxes have built-in LAN and wake-on-lan these days too. However it may not be enabled, or even attached to anything, so if they didn't plan for remote wakeups, it's probably not been arranged properly...
