I discovered a new term today —
Colocation. It is a bit technical, but let me explain. What is colocation? Colocation is a actually a huge data center that is used by multiple companies to locale their server, network and storage requirement. Why is colocation used? It is used to save costs and reduce complexity.
There are several
web hosting companies providing
managed hosting and colocation services. I think I will have to spread this idea to my clients. They will be happy to know and implement this idea to save their cost and to become safer. Obviously, only the bigger ones will need such service in my opinion. So my approach will be on a case-to-case basis.
And oh yes, did I mention that there is a difference between a shared hosting service and a colocation hosting service? Actually, the difference is big. Shared hosting service is where many companies host their stuff on a shared server that is prone to vulnerabilities. Companies usually opt for a dedicated server if vulnerability is to be reduced. But purchasing or hiring a dedicated server is a costly affair that needs much maintenance in the due term. Colocation resolves the problems with dedicated hosting as even though the server is owned by the company it is located and maintained by a colocation center. Money saved is money earned.

My nephew is seeking calculus help. Does anyone have it? I know I should have remembered my school and college times when calculus was a big topic to be studied and understood. But God only knows how I cleared mathematics papers all the time with things such as calculus, trigonometry, etc. as I never had any interest in learning those topics. Of course, the time has changed and so have I. Now when there is no use of learning those things, I am getting interested in those topics! Weird isn't it?
What I found on the internet is the link above for calculus. There are some other topics discussed and explained on that website such as statistics help and geometry help. The information seems adequate. But there is always a scope to know more. After all, we are living in information era where whatever you know is useful, today or tomorrow.
Mathematics is becoming a fun topic for me! Thanks to my nephew who is persistent :) Actually I was an expert in mathematics when I was up to standard 4. I used to score above 96%. And then came the fifth standard :) I know you all are laughing :)
