Is it becoming less practical to store your website’s server at your office? Many companies opt for in-house web hosting for complete control of their websites’ servers. An in-house setup does give you more control over your server’s hardware and software, in contrast to sharing predetermined resources on a shared server. However, you’ll need to hire employees to maintain your server and dedicate office space to storing it. If you plan to rearrange your office to clear more space, it may be time to move your servers out of the building. If you’d rather spend your time, money, and space on other crucial aspects of your business, you might want to consider looking for a colocation provider.
Colocation is essentially renting space in a data center for your servers. Unlike other web hosting options where your provider will be responsible for your server’s software and hardware, you will provide the server’s software and hardware, which you are free to modify as you please. The data center will provide security, power, cooling, and more bandwidth for your server. The initial startup costs for colocation may be higher than standard and in-house web hosting, but it’s the perfect way to clear some space and free your staff to do other tasks.
