Benefits of DataHive’s Colocation Service

When your business expands to the point where you need increased reliability and greater control of your systems, it is time to consider a colocated or a virtualized private cloud service.

THE NUMBER ONE BENEFIT OF HAVING YOUR OWN SERVER IS THAT IT BELONGS TO YOU

• You are not subject to slowdowns caused by other shared hosting users
• Your site is not affected by restrictions placed on shared hosting
• You are not subject to processes, scripts or other activities on shared hosting
• You have a greater degree of security because no one else has access to your server
• You eliminate reliability problems caused when you share with many other clients
• You can lock down access to your server as you wish
• You do not have to share power, memory or disk space with others
• You can install special software or configurations to meet your special requirements
• You can customize your firewall to enforce your own access control policy
• You can have your own unique IP address rather than sharing one address with others

WHEN PERFORMANCE IS CRITICAL

WHEN YOU MANAGE MANY DOMAINS
