Colocation Definition

Colocation - also colocated, collocated, collocation - is a type of web hosting where the customer's server equipment is hosted in the web hosting provider's data center.

Typically, the web hosting provider is responsible for providing power and connectivity, the customer is responsible for all work on the server and all of the data on the server.

Colocation is a popular choice for web hosting as it allows you to control what is on your server.
