Find secure, reliable co-location services to house and manage your servers and web presence. Choose dedicated servers, or rent rackspace for your own servers. Highly-available colocation facilities with security and virtual 24x7 uptime. Sources for server colocation, disaster recovery facilities, and managed network solutions can be found here. You maintain control over your web servers. Secure data centers offer dedicated server solutions in which the service provider monitors your servers continuously. There are Unmetered Bandwidth and Metered Bandwidth Options. Co-location, collocation, and colo are other terms for these services.

Colocation service providers offer a wide range of data center management options. Whether dedicated server hosting is needed, or if your company-owned servers are housed at the colocation provider's site, the colocation facility may allow you to manage virtually all of the server functions by remote control, including remote re-boot. Or, you may choose options in which the co-location hosting company is responsible for maintenance, patching and backups. (Vocus) June 28, 2010 -- Colocation America, a leading colocation server hosting company, announced its global communications network with its greatest quality connectivity yet. Colocation America routes the majority of its national and international communications through its One Wilshire (Los Angeles) and 60 Hudson (New York City) data centers, preeminent hubs for international communication.
“One Wilshire and 60 Hudson are two of the world's leading connection points and with Colocation America’s premium bandwidth blend of over 55% peering in these facilities, our global reach is immediate and secure,” says Michael Trunkett, President of Colocation America. “Over 10 years of experience in providing exceptional colocation hosting services has gained the confidence and satisfaction of our clients and that is something of which we are very proud of.”
The improved data transit times for colocation hosting providers with network peering relationships is due to direct connections between carriers, as opposed to routing through other routing protocols. Colocation America's private peering network at the One Wilshire and 60 Hudson data centers ensures instant connectivity for the hosting services that they provides.
The stability of Colocation America’s carrier-neutral facilities arise from the direct peering arrangements they have with other leading network providers. Colocation America has achieved 55% peering in its data centers, resulting in a balanced network with instant connectivity and 100% uptime for its colocation hosting and dedicated server hosting clients.
“The combination of premier infrastructure, strategic market location, and extensive data backup features makes our Los Angeles and New York hubs the top choices for reaching the East Coast, West Coast, Pacific Rim and other local and global markets,” says Trunkett.

Factors to consider:
1. Do you need a carrier-neutral colocation facility? This means, usually, that the site uses multiple bandwidth providers, and that your company may choose its preferred provider from among several options. Ask, though, if they accept any commissions from bandwidth providers.
2. Power protected colo facility: the extent of power protection may vary between co-location services. The number and capacity of UPS units and generators is key. Are there redundant generators?
3. A range, from secure metal cages to which your key employees have access 24x7, to locked cabinets containing your colocated servers, down to partial cabinets or just one or two rack units ( 1u or 2 u ) should be available.
4. Tape backup services and other hosting services are available from colo providers, pricing may vary significantly.
5. Does the colocation company host both telecommunications and ISP's? Learn whether they have a diversity of clients for their managed hosting services. 6. Ownership. You can usually choose between a dedicated server setup, in which the hosting company owns the hardware, or an arrangement where you own the servers. The advantages of colocation mean that bandwidth comes alot cheaper than what you may be able to negotiate on your own. The colo service basically supplies the bandwidth, the IP, and power to your server, and the data center in which it's housed. The contract that you sign with the colocation hosting service should allow for easy upgrades. Your business may expand to require more e-commerce servers. Server operating systems may become outdated. You may need to upgrade your Oracle or SQL Server database version. A "U" is a Rack Unit, a measurement of the vertical space that your server occupies within a rack. One 'U' generally equals 1.75 inches, or about 4.45cm. A full rack may have 40 to 42 U's. The minimum rack space you can rent for your colocated server is generally 1U. The amount of data transfer that you contract for is measuted in price per gigabytes of transfer per month. The colocation service may monitor your servers for any or all of the following, which may be priced separately, or included in your colocation plan: Ping Tests Disk Space Checks Check IIS, Mail, and other services, and restart automatically on failure..
