Benefits of Data Hive’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

WHEN PERFORMANCE IS CRITICAL
