Still Hosting On-Site? Why It’s Time to Try Colocation in Ohio

Searching for a New Colocation in Ohio?

If you’re planning a server migration or you’re unhappy with your current colocation provider, you’re likely asking:

“Where can I find secure, reliable colocation for my server hardware with real, human support?”

The good news is, you’re in the right place. Here’s why choosing colocation in Dayton, Ohio with DataYard could be your best move.

What Is Colocation and Why Is It Critical for Your Business?


Colocation offers a secure, professionally managed environment for your servers, which is miles above a makeshift server room or office closet. By housing your infrastructure in a certified data center, you gain peace of mind through redundant power systems, enterprise-grade cooling, and security. It also reduces operating costs and removes the burden of maintaining on-premise IT infrastructure.

Whether you’re considering server colocation in a datacenter in Dayton or elsewhere, this solution provides long-term stability, performance, and scalability for your business.
