Colocation
At Host Universal, we understand how important your IT infrastructure is to the success of your business. That’s why we offer industry-leading Colocation Services, providing you with a secure, reliable, and scalable environment to house your servers and critical hardware. With our state-of-the-art data centers, robust security, and unparalleled network performance, we ensure your equipment is protected and always available, allowing you to focus on growing your business.
What is Colocation?
Colocation is a service that allows businesses to rent space in a data center to house their servers and networking equipment. Instead of maintaining an expensive and resource-intensive server room on-site, colocation enables you to take advantage of a purpose-built facility with the highest levels of security, power redundancy, cooling, and network connectivity.
With colocation, you own and manage your hardware, but you rely on the data center for the physical environment, power, and bandwidth required to keep your servers running optimally.
Key Benefits of Host Universal’s Colocation Services
1. Reliable Power and Redundancy
Uptime is crucial for your business, and at Host Universal, we ensure your equipment stays powered and online 24/7. Our data centers are designed with multiple layers of power redundancy, including:
- Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems to protect against power fluctuations.
- Backup generators to ensure continued operation during outages.
- N+1 or better power redundancy, ensuring that there is always an extra component available to handle power failures.
With our power redundancy, your servers will always have the electricity they need to stay operational, even in the event of unexpected outages.
2. Scalable Space and Customization
Whether you need a single server rack, multiple racks, or even a private cage, our colocation services are designed to grow with your business. We offer:
- Flexible rack space: From partial racks to full racks, we accommodate your needs.
- Customizable solutions: You can configure your rack with your own equipment, ensuring your unique IT requirements are met.
- Scalability: As your business expands, you can easily add more racks or upgrade your space.
This scalability ensures that your infrastructure grows in line with your business, without having to worry about moving or upgrading to a larger facility.
3. Robust Physical and Cybersecurity
Host Universal takes security seriously. Our data centers are equipped with multiple layers of both physical and cybersecurity, including:
- 24/7 surveillance: Our data centers are monitored around the clock with advanced security systems, including video surveillance, motion sensors, and alarm systems.
- Access control: Only authorized personnel are allowed inside our colocation areas, enforced by multi-factor authentication systems such as biometric scanners, keycards, and security checkpoints.
- Cybersecurity protections: In addition to physical security, our network is protected by firewalls, DDoS mitigation, and constant monitoring to defend against cyber threats.
These measures ensure that your servers and sensitive data remain safe, protected from both physical threats and online attacks.
4. High-Performance Network Connectivity
Our colocation services come with high-speed, low-latency connectivity to ensure that your servers always have a reliable and fast connection to the internet and your users. We offer:
- Multiple carriers: You can choose from a wide range of network providers for added redundancy and flexibility.
- Cross-connect options: Easily connect to other services within the data center, including cloud services, content delivery networks, or partner companies.
- Scalable bandwidth: Whether you need a basic connection or high-capacity bandwidth for intensive applications, we have you covered.
Our data centers are positioned in major metro areas with access to global internet exchanges, ensuring that your data is delivered quickly and efficiently to its destination.
5. Enhanced Cooling and Environmental Controls
Maintaining an optimal temperature for your servers is essential to their performance and longevity. Host Universal’s colocation facilities are equipped with advanced cooling systems designed to prevent overheating and maintain stable operating conditions. Our systems include:
- Precision air conditioning: Constantly monitors and adjusts temperature to maintain ideal conditions.
- Hot and cold aisle containment: Ensures efficient cooling by directing airflow exactly where it’s needed.
- Environmental monitoring: Our teams continuously monitor temperature and humidity levels, ensuring that your servers are always in a stable environment.
This level of environmental control ensures the health and longevity of your critical hardware.

Whether it’s troubleshooting, hardware installation, or maintenance, our on-site support ensures your colocation environment operates smoothly.
