As your business grows, so do your hosting needs. For many companies, the question becomes:
“Should we keep our servers in-house, or colocate them in a data center?”

If you want full control over your hardware — but with the reliability and infrastructure of a professional data center — then Colocation Hosting might be exactly what you need.

Let’s break it down.

🧱 What Is Colocation Hosting?

Colocation (colo) is a service where you place your own physical server or IT equipment inside a third-party data center — like the one operated by PLiKhost.

Here’s how it works:

• You own the hardware (server, firewall, etc.)

• PLiKhost provides the facility — rack space, electricity, cooling, bandwidth, and physical security

• You remotely manage your server just like any other hosting service

In short: your hardware, our infrastructure.

🧠 Why Choose Colocation Over Other Hosting?

✅ 1. Full Control

You choose the hardware specs, operating system, software stack, and how your server operates — down to the BIOS.

✅ 2. Enterprise Environment

Your server benefits from:

• Redundant power supply

• Climate-controlled environment

• High-speed internet backbone

• 24/7 physical security and monitoring

That’s hard (and expensive) to replicate in a small office or server room.

✅ 3. Cost Efficiency at Scale

If you already own your server, colocation is often more cost-effective than leasing dedicated servers long-term — especially for high-performance or custom-built machines.

✅ 4. Improved Uptime and Connectivity

With redundant internet links and professional infrastructure, colocation ensures better uptime and lower latency, especially if you choose a provider close to your user base.

✅ 5. Scalability

Need more servers later? Simply ship more units and expand your rack usage — no need to re-architect your hosting model.

🏢 Who Uses Colocation Hosting?

Colocation is a popular choice for:

• 🏦 Financial institutions with strict data control

• 💼 Large companies running proprietary applications

• 🧑‍💻 Developers or startups with unique infrastructure needs

• 🛒 E-commerce platforms that require low-latency performance

• ☁️ Cloud backup, disaster recovery, or VPN gateway servers

It’s also ideal for businesses wanting to stay compliant while avoiding the cost of building their own data center.
