Colocation solutions mean renting physical space in a data center to house and run your equipment and servers. This lets you place your hardware in the secure, stable environment of a data center and use its network, security and support.
In short, colocation lets you keep your equipment in a professional, secure environment without worrying about its maintenance and support.

The cost of colocation depends on several factors, including the data center location, the size and type of physical space, processing power, network bandwidth, security, support and additional services. Costs can also vary with your needs for extra equipment and services. For example, a small server in a data center may start at around two million Toman per month, while a powerful server with higher requirements may cost several million Toman per month.

A data center is a large private facility used to house and manage the IT equipment and servers of a company or organization. These facilities are generally run full-time and exclusively by that company or organization, with all infrastructure and equipment provided solely for its internal use. Colocation, on the other hand, is a solution based on renting physical space in a professional data center, allowing companies and organizations to place their IT equipment there, while the costs of maintaining and improving the infrastructure are borne by the colocation provider.
Racks, cages and private suites are different types of rented space in a data center for housing IT equipment.
1. Rack:
A rack or rack enclosure is a small space used to house one or more server racks and related equipment. Racks suit small and medium-sized companies and organizations looking for less space at a lower cost.
2. Cage:
A cage is a larger, more dedicated space than a rack, separated from the rest of the data center by metal walls and a locked door. A cage suits larger companies and organizations that want higher security and more control over their space.
3. Private Suite:
A private suite is a larger, fully dedicated space in a data center, separated by a door and with independent access. A private suite suits large companies and organizations that need a high level of privacy and security.
In colocation (rack space rental), the equipment belongs to the subscriber and the hardware repair and maintenance costs are the subscriber’s responsibility, whereas in co-hosting the equipment belongs to the provider and the repair and maintenance costs are also borne by the service provider.
For this reason, co-hosting costs more than rack space rental or colocation.
