I think its a little more complicated than that

With colocation, you do own your hardware, but remember... that also means you will be responsible for any failures. If you rent a dedicated server, your provider will take care of any costs for you.

I wouldnt colo anything less than a p4 server because of the cost. If you think about it, you could purchse a major machine for about $1500, then colocate it for $70/month. If you plan on keeping it for a while, colo is a more cost effective option.

Colo means you buy a server and reckspace in the datacenter and dedi means you buy the server and if you are an experienced person you manage it yourself but if not you hire someone for it.

Thanks for this great explanation about colocation and dedicated

Hello
Collocation get you more troubles than dedicated. You have to understand it

Why is that?
colocations means your server placed in a datacenter right?
so which is the difference?

The difference in that a dedi is served by the host unlike the colo. And host pays the the employees of the datacenter for its serving (in case of breaking something). If something has broken in the colo you have to go to the datacenter and repair it yourself.

What do you mean by colocation? Never heard that term before
