What is hosting?

Hosting means that your ICT infrastructure is placed in a datacenter. This is a secured location with extensive connectivity options and guaranteed redundancy in power supply and cooling. In other words, your data and applications are always available and protected against outages or attacks.

Permanent availability of applications is essential. Moreover, the transition to a more ecological economy calls for more efficient solutions, such as datacenters, which can be managed in a sustainable way. There are different forms of hosting you can consider, depending on your specific needs:

• Public Hosting: This is the most accessible form. You use a SaaS (Software as a Service) application and have an account within this system. The exact hosting location is usually unknown, but the provider takes care of all necessary facilities.
• Private Hosting: In this case, your servers and applications are located in a virtual container within a datacenter. You have your own space that you can configure as you wish, while benefiting from shared services within the datacenter. This offers more control and customization.
• Colocation: For those who want full control, colocation provides a physical space within a datacenter where your servers are housed in a rack. You are responsible for the setup and maintenance of these servers yourself, but you benefit from the security and infrastructure of the datacenter.
