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.
