What is the difference between dedicated hostng and colocation hosting. At first glance sounds the same but has differences.
Dedicated hosting
This type of hosting is commonly used for hosting solutions to large or complex needs. Users can choose or provide the desired server specification, which is then placed on a data center. Users can use server resources freely because the server administration is managed or owned by the server owner. Dedicated Server is one type of hosting where we rent a server and we will get one server intact without being shared again with other users. So you are in full control of one server that you rent includes the selection of operating systems, hardware and so on. The rental price of dedicated server hosting is relatively more expensive than other types of hosting because having to do one server maintenance requires a lot of cost. Dedicated servers are commonly used by hosting service providers (shared hosting / vps), application service providers, or websites that have high traffic and / or resource requirements. When viewed from the price, the management of a dedicated server is quite expensive when compared to shared-hosting or VPS.
Colocation hosting
Broadly speaking colocation or cloud hosting is a hosting service that connects on many servers, where users do not have to worry about unstable server performance or limited resources on traditional hosting services such as dedicated servers or shared hosting. Cloud computing technology enables us to have unlimited resources because it connects to many physical machines, enabling us to add new servers on the fly without interrupting the ongoing process.
