Server Colocation Hosting
Is A
Colocation Solution Suitable For Your Company?
According to
dictionary definition collocations refers to the ‘provision of space for a clients
telecommunications equipment on a service provider’s premises’. A web site owner
will often enlist the services of an Internet Service Provider (ISP), such as
FastServers.Net, to host their web site;
such a colocation facility will provide a list of added extras and benefits for
web masters. Our
affordable colocation services now offer all the added features of
dedicated hosting while providing our clients with more freedom. The
colocation facilities allow web masters to have full control and access to their
site, and are particularly suitable for small and medium sized businesses. It gives
website controllers the ability to remove their server at anytime. Our outstanding
low-cost colocation
service puts the ownership of the server in your hands, giving complete freedom
to our clients. This is the central difference between dedicated servers and colocation
solutions. The web hosting company owns a dedicated server; our
colocation solution differs in that the customer owns the server. At FastServers.Net, we offer a unique and robust support system

Colocations
and Rack Mount Servers
A server is mounted
in a rack. A rack refers to the metal framework that holds electronic equipment
and usually contains bays. The size of
colocation facilities and servers available vary, server racks have a finite
amount of space available, which is measured using “rack unit” dimensions the standard
size of a rack mount server is 1 U or 1 ‘rack Unit’, 1U is equal to 1.75 inches
or 4.45 cm. This is the unit of measurement for defining the vertical space within
a
colocation facility. A 2U server takes double the amount of space of a1U server,
just as a 4U server would take the space of 4 by 1U servers. Rack mount servers
come in several sizes depending on the manufacturer and the hardware contained within.
The higher the rack unit the more space accessible and the more a collocations customer
can expect to pay. At

we present a colocations list to suit every web master and our affordable colocation
prices will suit every budget.
