When businesses and individuals research server solutions, they often find one of two things: they need to spend large sums of money to purchase the support, hardware, and other infrastructure they need, or they need to settle for insufficient solutions due to the prohibitive cost of renting or buying an adequate setup. Colocation hosting offers a middle ground between these two extremes.
Spending too much on hosting or investing too little both hurt a business’s profits and usability in the long run. Our colocation service gives companies and individuals a middle ground solution that provides the same level of support and robust technology that large corporations have access to. It works by allowing businesses to rent space on a large server rack so they can place their own server hardware on it.
Full Control Over Your Server Hardware and Software
Colocation hosting allows businesses to use the hardware of their choice. This means they can engineer the configuration, choose the server’s operating system and supplemental software, and adjust as many settings as they wish without contacting another company or paying extra to do so. Businesses also get to choose everything about how their web server is configured, giving them full control without added fees.
Expert Support at a Fraction of the Cost
Colocation lets businesses benefit from the same level of support and the same secure environment that larger companies enjoy. The same experienced technicians who monitor and support the servers of large corporations become available for a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time staff. These technicians maintain tenure and pass regular security checks, which helps keep a company’s colocated server safe.
Reliable Uptime and Power Protection
Colocation allows a business’s servers to remain online even when the business moves or faces power outages. Colocation facilities like Volico’s tend to have redundant power systems that keep servers running even during a natural disaster. While a business’s own office may lose power for days due to storms or downed power lines, a colocation facility usually has a backup system that prevents prolonged outages.
Lower Costs Through Shared Infrastructure
Colocation provides businesses and individuals with more affordable solutions that let them run their own server hardware. This can save money and hassle in the long run, making it one of the better solutions for parties who need a server. Bandwidth and power also cost less, since the colocation provider already receives a bulk discount. The business only has to pay for the cost of setting up its own server hardware.
A Flexible Solution for Growing Businesses
Colocation hosting gives businesses that don’t necessarily need a robust hosting setup, along with small businesses, the same level of IT support and features that large corporations enjoy. It does this by letting other businesses host their website on the same server rack as a large corporation. This creates a redundant and safe environment with minimal downtime due to network issues, power loss, or maintenance. These features make colocation ideal for small or medium businesses that aren’t quite ready to commit to dedicated hosting.
Enhanced Security and Maintenance
The last major benefit of colocation hosting comes from the security and maintenance your server receives. Professional IT personnel maintain and manage your server hardware while making sure no unauthorized individuals gain access to it.
