Web Hosting Options for Your Website to Host on a Server

Smart people build the Internet, smarter people manage the Internet, but technically challenged people use it.

Following are the type of server that you can purchase according to your requirements:
Collocated Server - This is when you build or purchase a server then place it (aka collocate) it at a data center. The hosting company is not responsible for any aspect of the server other than to provide it with power, and Internet connectivity.

Dedicated Server - This is when you lease a server from a company and this company is responsible for the hardware of the server and you are responsible for the software.

Managed Server - A managed server is one that the hosting company retains full control over. You will simply provide the data for the server and dictate how the maintenance of this server will be handled. Typically the client has no root access and cannot add or remove programs without the authorization of the hosting company.

So what did I chose and why? Well, as much as I would have like to have gone with a dedicated server I chose the collocated server instead. The managed server for this article was kind of silly but it was a nice dream for about 3 seconds (rewrite the sentence prior to this). Another big factor in my decision was price. For me, it was also circumstance, since I have a data center just around the corner from me, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.
