Managed Server Hosting vs. Colocation


California collocation hosting

With the Colocation approach, your business purchases physical rack space from a colocation provider, along with a network and basic infrastructure, but you provide your own hardware and manage and operate it with your own staff.

Managed hosting is an outsourced IT approach where the Managed Hosting provider purchases, controls and manages the equipment, data center space and infrastructure providing you services like reporting, monitoring, security, setup, system administration and software updates. So you don't have to be a hosting expert or have an IT department to manage and operate your servers. With managed hosting you save on up front expenditure, spreading the cost in a more even way and gaining a quicker Return on Investment.

Although co-location hosting seems like the cheaper option at first glance, there are hidden costs to be taken into consideration. Firstly, the initial cost of equipment can be pretty steep, making for a negative impact on your ROI. Secondly, the cost of upgrading equipment must be taken into consideration. Thirdly, you should have sufficient backup hardware and qualified technicians on hand to handle any problems which may arise.

The main difference between managed hosting and collocation is the lengths the hosting provider will go to in order to take care of and manage the customer's administrative tasks. Co-location is perfect for companies who already have a skilled IT department on-site. On the other hand, managed hosting would be the perfect solution to companies that are not familiar with web hosting facilities and who don't have an IT department to assist in the management of servers.

The decision as to which type of hosting you opt for should be based on what type of company you are and what your company's individual needs are. SplinterRock can help you sort out which solution would be right for your business.
