Colocation Hosting

What is Colocation Hosting? How it works and differ from the normal hosting service?

[Administrator]

Co-location hosting is basically hiring a specific space, power, network and bandwidth from your Datacenter to offer your own server hosting services. Basically you put your own hardware specific server under the rack and allocating the required network and bandwidth for that server.

Thank you for the explanation. When exactly we should use this type of hosting service? Is there any practical example of it which will clear the idea?

You can use that when you dont trust the hardware of any datacenter since not always you will get first hand hardware and you want to implement some reliable hardware looking at future growth..
