Many large corporations have the Internet infrastructure to host their own web servers and have a team of IT professionals to manage and design the site, individuals and small companies do not. There is a wide range of options available from simple hosting up to running your own Web servers off of a dedicated Internet connection. One such option is colocation.

Co-locating the server gives you the greatest flexibility. You get to choose the hardware configuration of the server and the software that goes on it

Colocation hosting is a lower-cost server hosting strategy using a provider’s high-speed 24/7 internet services, excellent operational security, superior availability and long-term stability while using the customer’s current server inventory.

Typically, colocation hosting improves business operations, cuts capital costs and boosts the quality of service that customers experience.

Colocation takes the client’s existing server infrastructure and moves it from the customer’s on-premise deployment to the colocation provider’s datacenter.
