Colocation
and Internet Services
Colocation
is a service that provides businesses
an economical means to acquire a Tier 1
Internet backbone with multiple network
connections for the fastest possible transit at
a fraction of the cost than it would be for the same quantity of Internet bandwidth at
their own office location. Companies ship
or deliver their server(s) to a
state-of-the-art class A facility that will
allow them to host their Internet web sites and
other Internet
services, such as web hosting,
VOIP, streaming Internet radio, IPTV, etc.
Network equipment along with the colocation
facility's large Internet connections, such as
 100Mbps,
1,000Mbps or 10,000Mbps give these businesses
optimal Internet presence, communication
transference
and
profitable e-commerce opportunities. Check

Comparison
Between Colocation and Dedicated Servers
Do you own a
business and have questions about how you should
set-up your Internet business? If you are
uncertain as to whether you should spend your
money on dedicated
servers or colocation,
then I recommend that you assess your
company’s technical needs, budget, potential
Internet
traffic, and growth expectancy.
Check out this article: Dedicated Servers
vs. Colocation for a further description.
Often, smaller aspiring
businesses that do not have the ability to administer a
server, opt for a shared
server and gradually transition over to
a dedicated server when financially stronger
or technically capable.
Once a company has grown, it can hire
an IT person to
administer their server, therefore graduating
to the benefits of a colocation facility, which allows a company the autonomy
it often desires.
Managed
and Non-Managed Dedicated Servers vs. Colocation
 There
are two types of dedicated
servers, managed or non-managed.
Both of these are provided by a dedicated
server hosting service.
A dedicated server is rented by a
business who requires the technical freedom
that a shared hosting server cannot offer.
A dedicated server does not
give as many options as colocating your own
server and equipment allows. Still,
a company
choosing a dedicated server can select their
own operating system and hardware that best
suits their needs without compromising with
other companies’
technical needs that exist with a shared hosting type server solution.

What is a Dedicated Server? A
data center or colocation
facility provides dedicated server service in
a state-of-the-art facility with the fastest,
most reliable Internet connectivity
possible. They can provide the necessary
hardware, software, as well as redundant networking and
power sources, specialized HVAC systems, 24/7 server
administration and technical support, colocation,
and on-site security.
