This is the Colocation Hosting or Colocation Services page of Web Hosting Reviews and News, Colo or Co-location for short. Colocation hosting is like dedicated hosting, in that the webmaster has a dedicated server. The difference is that in colocation hosting the webmaster owns and frequently installs the server at the colocation data center. The web hosting colocation services company provides the physical space for the server at a data center, and provides the maintenance and upkeep for the server, so that the webmaster does not need to own a building and have the overhead of managing repairs, electricity, air conditioning, Internet pipe and anything else needed to maintain servers.

The "co" part of colocation means that many different servers of different websites are located in the same colocation data center facility. Depending on the colocation hosting service contract, the colocation service provider may provide minimal or no services for running the website, or may provide some direct support.

Colocation hosting services are only appropriate for relatively large websites, with the technical staff to install or maintain servers and operate all aspects of server technologies. Colocation hosting news is provided on this page.
