What is Co-Location?
In general, collocation is moving or placing things together, sometimes implying a proper order. On the Internet, this term (often spelled “colocation” or “co-location”) is used to mean the provision of space for a customer’s telecommunications equipment on the service provider’s premises. For example, a Web site owner could place the site’s own computer servers on the premises of the Internet service provider (ISP) who provides co-location hosting services.
