It is first important to explain what colo and rack space actually means. If somebody or a company wants a website, the first thing they must do to get started is think of and purchase a domain name. Once they have done this they need to organise hosting so that the website actually appears on the Web. The website needs to be hosted on another type of computer called a server.
