Hosting Service and Colocation Service?
Recently, I often hear Hosting Service and Colocation Service by IT network solution companies or telephone companies.

So many advantages of using colocation like:
- Better Connectivity,
- Improved Network security,
- Easy disaster recovery,
- Financial Gains,
- Location Independence,
- Increased Flexibility.
-
Advantages of Colocation hosting:
-Cheaper than hosting your own server
-Your server is stored in a protected location
-Can be personalized to suite your needs
-You have full control over your server
-You can easily upgrade when necessary
-You have a high amount of flexibility
-
Colocation providers provide additional security for your machines. Your server is stored and maintained in a secured environment.
-
Colocation is great but you really have to know your stuff and how to manage the servers, you are also responsible for your own hardware so if a failure occurs be ready to drive to the datacenter at 2 am.

it is good, we have use this for a long time

More control over server administration

Network Reliability. You provide the server, but we manage the network. With a fault-tolerant SONET fiber ring, we can provide private data connections that deliver near 100 percent uptime. With more and more businesses depending on constant connection, your business continuity depends on network reliability, which by the way is much cheaper to rent than own.
Power Redundancy. If you manage your own data center – whether that be one server or many – you’ll need a backup in the case of a power outage. Also expensive to own, yet critical to ongoing business operations. Not many businesses can survive power outages that last more than a day or two.
On-site Specialists and Troubleshooting. Something’s not working correctly, you can’t access your data, your IT guy is on vacation, so what do you do? With colocation hosting, you simply call one of our technical specialists who will talk you down from that ledge and get you back up and running. Much better than the phone book (remember… your Internet is down!)
Bandwidth. You can always throw money at improving bandwidth or you can share that cost with other colocation customers and get all the bandwidth you need to smoothly run your network operations. Your choice here, but as bandwidth requirements increase with more complex applications and cloud computing, colocation hosting becomes a more and more economical choice.
Security and Data Protection. Data breaches have increased year over year and there’s no end in sight. With data regulations becoming stricter, and penalties becoming more expensive, a data breach in many companies can spell disaster. Colocation facilities generally offer key card entry, cabinet locks, and surveillance.
-
You need to invent more money in the beginning while purchasing but after you co-locate the hardware in any datacenter, you just need to pay the power and bandwidth prices. And even if you cancel the services with any datacenter, you can take your hardware with you and con-locate in some other datacenter.
-
At the end of the day, it's about cutting costs.
Hosting Providers are merely paying Bandwidth and Power costs, that's it.
