Colocation server hosting involves use of facilities of other Cloud users. Such facilities could involve premises, power, cooling, and physical security for the server, storage, and networking equipment and get them connected to a variety of communications and network service providers seamlessly and at minimum cost. Most businesses will find this option attractive as it allows them to focus on their core operations instead of getting bogged down with the enormous logistical needs of a collocation operation.



A collocation server hosting operation could involve approximately 50,000 to one Lakh square feet of area including massive power and mechanical installations. It is basically a huge logistical set-up massive amount of capital and labor investments and is best left to specialized companies that are dedicated to the business. For a user, collocation services offer a goldmine of benefits:

•    An expenditure model that is easy to predict and operate 
•    Easier access to additional capacity as and when needed
•    Easier availability of power and floor space
•    Transparent environment enabling better coordination
•    Easier formulation of cloud strategy through good infrastructure
•    Minimum infrastructure changes during fast changes in business planning
•    Well prepared damage control mechanism
•    Data center managed by skilled and experienced professionals

Combined use of one facility by many customers enables economies of scale that offer:

•    More reliability as systems are redundant
•    Round-the-clock monitoring by dedicated personnel
•    Much lower network latency and higher bandwidth less cost
•    Availability of a large technical staff which a single user can’t afford 

A user needs to have his website files up on a web server to get his website on the internet. For a single user it will not only be expensive but also difficult to set up and manage a server. VPS hosting is one among the different types of web hosting accounts that a user can choose from for hosting his website. VPS server hosting in the US can be a virtualized server involving a virtual private server. Such hosting resembles a dedicated server that could be found in shared hosting.
