Who needs Co-location hosting?

A co-location, also called as colo or carrier hotel, is a kind of data center that are meant for rental to retail clients. This is an arrangement of hosting under which customers place their server machines and other equipment in someone else’s rack, and share their bandwidth. However, it’s slightly costlier than standard web server hosting.

Colocation is a better solution for businesses that don’t intend to take stress in future. The system provides their clients with business continuity, performance and scalability in much lesser price that would be achieved through your own data center infrastructure.

Advantages that you’d get from a Colocation:

• Cheaper bandwidth
• You’ll still have your own software and hardware so you’ll have complete control
• Flexibility to expand without capital expenditure
• Faster and more reliable
• Round-the-clock monitoring by skilled professionals
• Higher level of security
• Better outage protection
• Leave the server up, even if your business moves
• Advanced fire-fighting system
