Depends on you afterall.
Colocation - you need to own your own server - your are responsible for any damages.
Rental - all faults are handled by iDC.

Yeah, The advantages of colocation are obviously that if your server is pulled by the DC, you can simply move to a new one without losing the data. You can also customise your server to contain whatever hardware you like.
Advantage of dedicated (rental) is that you don't have to pay out if there's a hardware fault with your server.

Hi griffin,
Where are you from, by the way? We must know which datacenter is near to you before recommending you the datacenter.
