Rochester colocation and much much more
After you have prepared and programmed your own server, you ship it to the server colocation facility, where the colocation company plugs it into their own network in an atmospherically controlled environment. How does server colocation work? The company runs a network that provides bandwidth, IP addresses, and everything else servers need to connect to the Internet. The company's facility is kept at the ideal cleanliness level and temperature for servers, and the power supply is maintained through backup systems in order to keep your server up and running no matter what. Businesses ship their servers to the server colocation facility, where the facility techs connect them to the network. Does the colocation company upgrade or maintain my server? No, maintaining and updating the server is your sole responsibility.
