Seattle Server Colocation

Choosing the Right Seattle Server Colocation

If you've already decided that Seattle server colocation is right choice for your Web servers, then it's time to tour the available colocation facilities in Seattle. But what should you look for in a Seattle colocation data center? Every Seattle colocation facility should have these three things:

Does the colocation facility have competent staff?

You're busy running a business and do not have hours to spend with unresponsive technical support. Selecting a Seattle colocation company with a competent technical staff prevents delays and increases productivity. Make sure that the staff is available 24 x 7 x 365 by phone and e-mail. At Adhost, the technical staff is homegrown and not outsourced. We can even help you with patches, upgrades and Web statistics. This is also an important factor to consider when selecting a Seattle data center.

How secure is the Seattle colocation facility?

There are a few key security features that every Seattle data center should have in place. First of all, make sure the facility monitors visitors and has a surveillance system. In addition, the Seattle colocation facility should be built to survive inclement weather and natural disasters, such as earthquakes. You should also ask if the facility has emergency wells to cool the system if city water is unavailable. If the Seattle colocation doesn't have many redundancies already in place, find a more secure environment for your servers.

Is the Seattle colocation data center convenient?

As you tour the facility, don't forget to think about convenience. How difficult is the Seattle colocation facility to visit? Ideally, you should be able to quickly access your server should the need arise. Adhost is centrally located in downtown Seattle at the Fisher Plaza and can be easily reached by car or public transportation.
