Colocation is the term given to renting rackspace from a datacenter or host which provides you with an internet connection, bandwith, and power to run your own server from their hosting location.

Dedicated servers are the responsibility of the hosting provider. They will usually manage the box for you and help with installations and reboots. They are also responsible for hardware failures.

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.

In my own view dedicated is better,because in this you have only to use the services,not to worry about the various troubles which often comes with server's hosting.

With dedicated, the storage and bandwidth is all yours, and you don't have to share resources with others on a shared server. In the real world, the storage and bandwidth will never be used, because resources will top out first.

dedicated is always better as owning a server is pritty costly than renting it take up a decision for owning a server when you have a real great business so you get real profit from it

As the whole system is dedicated for your use only, you do not run the risk of being crashed, swamped or slowed down by any other site.
You don’t need to worry about anybody within the server accessing your files as nobody else has access to it but you.
