HI,
Dedicated server and colocation are technically the same. But, if dedicated server is equipment that belongs to a company and yopu rent it for your information, then colocation is when you have your own server in datacenter of some company, where you rent a physical space for it, and not more - all management and repair has to be done by yourself, so it is only reasonable if you live close to the dedicated sever. _________________ Dedicated Servers | Managed Servers

A Dedicated Server is a server provided by a web host for you to rent. You have remote access to the server and you can customize the server to your own needs. The server is owned by the web host and you don’t have physical access to the server.
Co-location means you store your own server at a facility of a co-location provider. A co-location provider provides an internet connection to your server and allows you physical access to your own server when you need it. _________________ Dedicated Servers |

Dedicated Server:-
Normally dedicated servers are required by business websites which receive enormous traffic every month that cannot be satisfied by a shared web hosting service. Additionally, a dedicated server also ensures secure transfer of information along with the ability to use customized applications such as e-commerce payment engines or complex databases.
If the client is responsible for the maintenance of the server in which case he needs to have all the technical expertise or resources, then it is simply dedicated server hosting. On the other hand, if all aspects of the dedicated server are managed by the hosting company itself, then it is referred to as a managed server.
Colocation:-
A colocated server offers much more privileges and control than a dedicated server. The colocated server is hosted within the data center facility of a colocation provider who is responsible for providing the client with a high-speed internet connection in order to access and manage the server as and when required.
There are colocation providers which can custom build the colocated server as per the customer's demands. The most logical client for a colocation server is a power user who requires custom hardware or software configurations, multiple clustered servers, and access to specific data centers. _________________ Host With Us
