If your business or organization needs larger sites with more service space and high-speed site delivery and performance, but wants to control server configuration, applications and content updates, then co location hosting service could be the answer to your hosting needs.

Under a co location hosting solution, your organization purchases a Web server, which is located at a different geographical site location or at a Web host's facility. The co location hosting facilities manage the daily maintenance of server, provide firewall security and bandwidth for Internet connectivity, back up battery or power generator, and provide physical security of server locations. You have the option to use some minimal monitoring services of the host, but generally you manage the server and services.

One of the goals of a co location hosting arrangement is to provide your organization the ability to use the required hardware you have that may not be available from the hosting provider. Since the co location hosting facility will provide the technical support to your hardware, you have to choose your provider with prudence. You don't want a provider that cannot come up with an immediate solution should there be a server outage.

You can also use co location hosting as a strategy to avoid external security breach in your internal network operations security. This is useful if your organization has high volume access to Web services that require no connectivity to the organization internal local area network (LAN) servers. A server located outside the organization's premises means that your organization's external Web services are completely separate from your internal Web services.

A reliable co location hosting company that is located near you is worth considering more than a distant one. Keep in mind that the closer your server location is to a target area, the faster the connection responds to the end user.
