Who Needs Colocation?

This is a question that is sometimes difficult to answer. Individuals who run small sites for personal use or blogs probably do not need the level of service provided by colocation and are better off with web hosting.

If, however, the server needs to be more robust than what is provided by standard web hosting, colocation is often the best option. This is usually the case for large enterprises. Colocation is also a great option for small businesses that want to have a fairly large web presence but do not want to have to deal with the hassle of a large amount of items such as network connections.

There are also those who benefit from colocation by allowing us to host their POS server. They chose colocation due to a lack of space, reliable power and effective cooling at their place of business.

Advantages of Colocation

• The cost of bandwidth per Mbps is traditionally lower. Instead of paying for the pipe to your location, you can use the same money to purchase more bandwidth in a location with better redundancy.
• Colocation facilities usually have better outage protection. In addition to your UPS, we have a large gas generator to power the entire data center in the case of an outage.
• You own the server. You can upgrade it at any time without having to wait for someone else to do it.
• You own the software and decide what software in installed and when.
• If you move, you can leave the servers up the entire time. No paying for additional lines at a new facility or outages while moving the server(s).
• Colocation provides physical security for your equipment and data due to the limited access to the data center.
• We offer administration service by qualified staff and engineers if needed.
