Server locations are services used on a network to find another server or client that it would communicate with. Server locations are used to find the internet protocol (IP) address of a domain name or within a network’s uniform resource locator (URL).

Server locations also use country coded domains. Country coded domains are the ones used at the suffix of the domain names like the .com or .net. There are other suffices like .com.au or .co.uk and many others. Suffices are used so users would know where the site is hosted. Some server locations may have more restrictions than others. This could be because server locations in other countries are being governed by their local government to prevent people to host websites and leave their sites unattended. This also prevents domain name duplication.

A co location hosting facility is where the web host will set up his web server. Server co location providers provide the necessary facilities the web host may need. They provide services as well. Your equipment will be connected to their facility. Using server co location is more flexible for most users. You can choose the hardware configuration and which software to use. Aside from maintenance of the server, your provider should take care of the rest of the problems.

Connecting to a server co location will give you and your clients a more reliable connectivity. Co location hosting may be what you need to have a reliable network access and they may help you increase your bandwidth whenever you need them.

In server co location, the internet service provider would provide a space and equipment for the client. The client may store his server provided by the co location provider who gives an internet connection and allows access to his own server. Server co location providers usually give much higher bandwidth than the client needs to allow future expansion.
