The type of hosting service known as colocation hosting is one that involves the renting out of space by the data centre as well as the provision of housing for the servers themselves. These customers own the server and have complete control over both the hardware and the software that runs on it.

Colocation hosting is very similar to dedicated hosting in that you purchase or rent all of the necessary hardware and you rent the space in which the customer is located. Additionally, colocation hosting provides you with many different options to offer and upgrade your websites as well as resources.

Colocation hosting is quite similar to dedicated hosting in that it gives you the option to improve your webpage resources and features. It also has a higher level of reliability and security. Because it can accommodate a very high volume of traffic, it is typically more beneficial for online organizations that are either middle-sized or larger in size.

Hosting private servers in a data centre operated by a third party is an example of the business practice known as colocation hosting. To put it another way, companies will send their server hardware to a colocation data centre rather than maintaining internal servers in their offices or in a private data centre.
