Dedicated Server Hosting vs. Colocation Web Hosting

February 29, 2016 by Strad Team

The main difference between implementing dedicated server hosting and colocation web hosting lies in the needs of the clients. For example, clients who choose dedicated server hosting need to lease an entire server that is housed at an off-site data center, which is solely dedicated for their personal use without having to share such facility with anyone. On the other hand, clients who choose colocation web hosting opt to lease a cabinet or a rack inside a very secure off-site data center where they can house the hardware of their server, sharing this facility and services with other subscribers.

Both of these server facilities are on lease, but dedicated server hosting allows a client to have the entire data center to himself while colocation server hosting shares the data center with different subscribers. Also, with colocation services, the client owns the hardware, thus giving them total control in choosing the type of hardware and operating system to use. With dedicated hosting, however, it is the service vendor who owns and chooses the hardware, which means that there is a need to pay for any machine upgrade.

Cheap Dedicated Server Advantages

If you decide to go for cheap dedicated server, there are some advantages that you can expect. For one, there is an assurance of high-quality server performance since you do not have to share the resources of the system such as disk space, processor power, as well as memory with other subscribers who are also using the same facility.

Since the entire system is dedicated, there is no risk of experiencing crashes, slowing down or swamping caused by another site. At the same time, you do not have to worry about other people being able to access your files because you are the only one who has the right to do so. All custom configurations of the server are customized according to your specific needs. You can even take advantage of a custom firewall so as to enhance access control policy.

You have complete control on the addition, removal and change of the system files as well.

Bottom Line

Both dedicated server hosting and colocation web hosting comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and there is no exact answer to the question as to which one is the best. However, if you think that your project is somewhat budget sensitive, you can choose a dedicated server. On the other hand, if resources are not a problem, then colocation is a great option.
