Colocation hosting isn’t just for big corporations or IT departments. It’s a flexible solution trusted by developers, startups, and growing businesses that need full control, low latency, and reliable uptime.
Let’s explore three powerful real-world use cases where colocating your own server at PLiKhost makes perfect sense:
-
🎮 Game Servers
-
🧩 SaaS Applications
-
☁️ Backup & Redundancy Nodes
🎮 1. Game Servers: Low Latency & Hardware Customization
Use Case:
You’re hosting multiplayer games, private server mods (e.g., Minecraft, ARK, GTA V RP), or esports infrastructure.
Why Colocation Works:
-
Ultra-low ping for local users with optimized routing
-
Full hardware access for GPU acceleration or custom CPUs
-
Freedom to install game-specific OS tweaks, mods, and anti-cheat layers
-
No resource throttling like on shared or cloud hosting
Example:
A game hosting provider colocates 3 high-performance servers with custom NICs and NVMe storage to serve thousands of Indonesian players with <10ms latency.
🧩 2. SaaS Platforms: Compliance + Stability
Use Case:
You’re running a web-based service like CRM, analytics, or document management, and you need predictable performance with strict uptime and data control.
Why Colocation Works:
-
Full compliance control (data stays on your hardware, in a known location)
-
Consistent monthly costs, ideal for growing SaaS budgets
-
No noisy neighbors or shared virtual environments
-
High-performance, dedicated networking ideal for database-heavy apps
Example:
A local SaaS company colocates two servers at PLiKhost — one for production, one for staging — to ensure isolation and 99.9% uptime SLAs for government clients.
☁️ 3. Backup & Disaster Recovery Nodes
Use Case:
You operate your own infrastructure elsewhere, but want geographically separate backup nodes or offsite redundancy.
Why Colocation Works:
-
Host backup targets in a different region or city for data safety
-
Push backups securely via rsync, SFTP, or encrypted tunnels
-
Lower bandwidth cost compared to cloud providers
-
Combine with PLiKhost’s remote backup services for added peace of mind
Example:
A fintech company colocates a storage server to receive nightly encrypted backups from their main Jakarta facility — without relying on third-party cloud.
