The Server Colocation Source
What is Web Server Colocation
Server Colocation
is where a company stores
all of its sensitive data,
web pages and downloadable,
onto a server, then hauls
the server to a server
colocation provider.
Once they have your server
they will install your
server in their rack. A
Server Colocation provider
ensure you a fast and
reliable connection to the
internet. In effect, you are
sharing
bandwidth with the
server colocation provider,
this is how you avoid
bandwidth charges. You can
also rent a
server
from the server colocation
provider.
There are a numbers of
reason why companies go from
sharing hosting to
colocating their own
Servers:
-
Custom software that is
not permitted on shared
servers
-
Data that has to have
the utmost security.
-
A large number of sites
to host.
