Are you considering getting into a colocation arrangement? It could be a very wise decision you would take. Colocation would enable any business with limited capital and resources to own an online server at much less costs. The business could own a powerful server machine at half the total price by co-owning it with another company. These days, colocation is gaining more popularity. The reason is quite logical. Here are the main advantages of the arrangement.
Of course, the main advantage of colocation is that the cost of bandwidth ownership and operation is halved. For instance, a low-cost bandwidth DSL line for business grade with limitations may cost just about $150. With the same price, you could enter a colocation agreement with another company so you may be able to enjoy a facility or server with much higher bandwidth speed. This arrangement is more advantageous if online operation is crucial to your business.
You could rely on colocation facilities for better outage protection. During a long power outage, it may be necessary to operate a backup generator. Doing so would enable the server to continue running. If you are in a colocation agreement, your colocation provider would take care of this problem. If you are the colocation provider, you could use the arrangement to lessen the costs your business would shoulder on operating the costly backup generator.
In a colocation deal, the provider and renter co-own the server machinery. This way, if the machine gets too slow or if it lacks enough memory, they could easily, quickly, and simply upgrade that server. There is no need to wait for a third party or for a service provider to come and do the upgrade. More control is rendered to both parties, which is always advantageous.
Both owners of the server also own the server software used. There is no more need to rely on a hosting provider for the installation of tools or software to be used. The colocation provider could do it on its own. If the company decides to use ColdFusion or ASP, it needs to simply purchase and install that software without any hassle.
