Hi Joel,
What does colocation mean?
Colocation is when you set up a server on your own machine, and then
pay an ISP or similar connectivity provider a rental to place your
machine on their network, connected to the Internet.
Included in this is usually guaranteed 24/7 power and connectivity,
security, and occasionally backups. The two biggest providers of these
in the UK are Telehouse and TeleCity, both in London's docklands. In
these cases you rent a 19" rack cabinet in which you can place as many
servers as you want. That really costs big, though.
