Server Hosting -- Quick Question

[abudhu]

Morning All:

There has a been a question that has been bothering me for some time. I spoke with some fellow IT personnale about it and while I heard the phrase once I cannot for the life of me recall what it is.

So here goes a description:

You build a Server and you give this server (physically take it) to a local building and said local building organization will put your server into a rack, hook the internet up and for a monthly fee allow your server access to the internet, daily/monthly backups etc etc.

Obviously my attempts to search such phrases as: Server Hosting, Dedicated Hosting etc etc result in renting pre-made servers in some remote location that I will never see.

If anyone has any clue as to what I am talking about, a link, or a suggestion that'd be greatly appreciated. This has been racking my brain for quite some time.

Thanks mates.

Collocated hosting.

Yep, that's called collocation.

Also often spelt colocation..and abbreviated as colo. Common rates from 100 - 250 or so per month..depending on monthly bandwidth usage.

Some companies also do it by the half or whole rack.
