I just want to point out that you must have a larger amount of money to spend to begin with because you must purchase the hardware and software for your server which can be quite costly. Whereas if you go dedicated, you have a lower monthly cost. It will save you money over time to co-locate but you have to have a high startup price.</p> <p>----------<br /> Dynamic Internet Solutions : <a href="http://www.dids.com" class="bb-url">http://www.dids.com</a><br /> UNIX and Windows NT Hosting</p> Fri, 30 Jul 1999 22:38:00 +0000 comment 1017987 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/web-hosting-and-domain-names/what-dedicated-server-what-difference#comment-1017986 <p>I'm not Chad, but I can answer your question, JP. Co-locating is when YOU actually own all the equipment, and send it over to the hosting company's NOC (Network Operations Center). This is often cheaper than a dedicated server, because you only have to pay for bandwidth and sometimes rackspace charges. However, while some companies help admin dedicated (leased) servers, you alone are in charge of maintaining your colocated server. I hope this helped!</p> <p>Brian Farkas</p> <p>----------<br /> InfoStar: Web Design - Hosting - Programming<br /> <a href="http://www.infostardesign.com" class="bb-url">http://www.infostardesign.com</a></p> Fri, 30 Jul 1999 20:19:00 +0000 Brian Farkas comment 1017986 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/web-hosting-and-domain-names/what-dedicated-server-what-difference#comment-1017988 <p>Cheers Brian, Chad.<br /> Much appreciated. <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/smile.png" title="Smiling" alt="Smiling" class="smiley-content" /><br /> JP</p> <p>----------<br /> The Webmaster Promotion and Resource Center.<br /> <strong>Visit:</strong> <a href="http://www.what-next.com" class="bb-url">http://www.what-next.com</a></p> Fri, 30 Jul 1999 17:05:00 +0000 JP Stones comment 1017988 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/web-hosting-and-domain-names/what-dedicated-server-what-difference#comment-1017985 <p>Chad,<br /> Exactly what is co-locating?<br /> JP</p> <p>----------<br /> The Webmaster Promotion and Resource Center.<br /> <strong>Visit:</strong> <a href="http://www.what-next.com" class="bb-url">http://www.what-next.com</a></p> Fri, 30 Jul 1999 16:48:00 +0000 JP Stones comment 1017985 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/web-hosting-and-domain-names/what-dedicated-server-what-difference#comment-1017984 <p>A dedicated server is just that. You basically lease the entire server. You don't actually own it but you have complete control over the server config and the files that are on it. Only your sites will be hosted on it which gives you greater control and functionality. You can control every aspect of the server from the OS to the seperate PERL modules. No other sites will be on the server which means that your sites performance will not be hindered by another sites poor coding. It is the best option if you have a large or resource intensive site.</p> <p>----------<br /> Dynamic Internet Solutions : <a href="http://www.dids.com" class="bb-url">http://www.dids.com</a><br /> UNIX and Windows NT Hosting</p> Tue, 27 Jul 1999 00:26:00 +0000 comment 1017984 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
