Colocation Services:
Colocation is a hosting option for small and mid size businesses who don’t yet have the resources of larger corporations like their own data centers with redundant power sources, networks, multiple high speed lines etc. They need all those services but can’t afford them yet. Colocation services come to the rescue.
There are scores of data centers that cater to this need of small and mid sized businesses.
Colocation allows you to place your own hardware (server) in someone else’s rack and share their bandwidth as your own. You also take advantage of their power generators, controlled temperature environment, redundant routing and high speed lines. It costs more than dedicated servers hosted at an ISP and also more than self hosted servers but a whole lot less than building your own data center with all that much bandwidth and redundancies of services. 
You set up your hardware, load your software and data and take it to the colocation data center and power it on. You are responsible for maintaining and operating your hardware. The colocation service is responsible for providing you the power, IPs and bandwidth. 
Colocation service providers charge you by the size of the space you rent
and by the bandwidth you consume. Generally space is rented for common server sizes like 1U, 2U, 4U. You would be using rackmounted servers. If you plan to use conventional tower computers then you would rent space as 1/4 of a rack/cabinet or 1/2 or even a full rack.
Many mid sized businesses also rent data centers in addition to their own data centers as their backup / disaster recovery sites or for load balancing.
