Colocation Hosting

When companies place their servers on the premises of a third party, it is known as colocation hosting. The third party, or hosting company, also provides web connectivity. Dedicated hosting is suitable for those companies who want to have control over their website and its operations. Here, the company only pays for the networking services.

Companies that opt for collocation hosting own the server and ensure that all the required information is loaded onto it. Colocation providers offer “Server Monitoring” contracts, wherein the norms for providing the service are stated. This ranges from facilities provided for placing the server, the accessibility/security aspect, the backup plan, troubleshooting devices and bandwidth. Servers have standard configurations of 1U or 2U. The costs increase with server capacity. There are companies that offer “cheap hosting services” with excellent performance and service. However, when opting for such hosts, care should be taken that the required contract documents contain all the important issues related to colocation hosting. - by Richard Romando
