What is Co-location Hosting?
Co-location hosting is a service where businesses place their own servers and networking equipment in a professionally managed data centre. Rather than housing your hardware on-site, you rent space, typically in a rack, cabinet, or private cage, within a secure facility that provides power, cooling, connectivity, and physical protection.
This setup offers the control of owning your infrastructure with the benefits of a purpose-built environment. Compared to on-premise hosting, co-location reduces costs and risks associated with maintaining your own facility. Unlike public cloud solutions, co-location gives you full ownership and direct access to your hardware, offering more control, compliance, and predictable performance.
