What Is Colocation?

A colocation solution with Netsonic offers space, security and bandwidth for your server

Colocation is a hosting solution for businesses that want the benefits of a secure, disaster recovery facility without the added expense. It allows servers to be placed into rented server racks, with access to high bandwidth speeds, network connections, regulated power, security and support.

The amount of money it would take to replicate the networking equipment and disaster recovery strengths would be cost prohibitive to most businesses, which could spend a small fortune creating, maintaining and continually updating such an infrastructure. Housing servers that maintain critical business data on them, within personal offices, comes with the added risk of potential data loss or downtime due to fire, outages or security threats.
