![]() | Well here is my understanding of them. I may be off or not detailed enough but I'm sure someone else will eventually chime in. Dedicated: you have use of the entire box. No other sites are hosted on it besides what you put on there. Management might be your responsibility or they may charge you for administration. Depending on your plan you might have root access. Coloco: Your box but they host it for you in their datacenter and on their network. Not sure how they handle upgrades, hardware and software issues etc. as I've never tried this means of hosting. I have 2 dedicated boxes with 2 companies now for the sites currently in my sig (and I change those frequently). I have thought about colocation as I have a dell duel xeon poweredge sitting at home for a year now doing nothing. The problem is that its a tower chassis and finding colocation services that are reasonable is harder than finding cheap dedicated hosting. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places though.
