Full ownership rights, maintenance rights and backups all are in hands of website hosting company. Company can also decide about the software used in networking.

If you want to host a site on a dedicate server then managed hosting is a best option. You can hire or take a server on lease so that no other client can use it. This website hosting solution is suitable for those companies or individuals who wants to have their systems with them, unlike collocation. Having system within your reach and limit is very beneficial but before going for this option you must look into some factors, which I am going to discuss below. Operating system In managed hosting you have a dedicated server and one of its major advantage is that you can decide on your own which operating system is best suited for your server. You can also consult with your website designing team members. Many options are available for operating systems such as LINUX OS often offers free plans for hosting. RED HAT and Microsoft charge some fee for hosting.

Term â€˜Colocationâ€™ can be best understood as hosting an Internet server. There are data centers in which companies buy the rack and keep server equipments, which are owned by them. The data centers are mainly built to facilitate those companies who want to host an Internet server but donâ€™t want to keep at the place of their work or in their own offices. Many companies are the customers of these data center all having their own space for keeping their equipments. There are many advantages also and disadvantages also to colocation as compared to hosting on site server. If you use server on your site then you have to pay a higher amount for the bandwidth but in data centers bandwidth is shared by many servers so it becomes cheaper. This is one of the advantages of colocation centers. As in managed hosting you donâ€™t have any control over your server but in colocation you can easily check and have total control of the system. You can also upgrade your system as and when required. Due to large machines and power system your website speed can be much faster. **End Summary** Topics: colocation]]> collocation]]> bandwidth]]> server]]> data storage]]> CD]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> E-colo.com has been assisting Companies with finding the right Colocation facility for their specific needs around the United States and overseas for over 10 years.
