colocation

Same data center

Colocation is the placement of things together, especially in computing, where it refers to housing privately owned servers in a third-party data center.

The facility provides power, cooling, and network connectivity while the client maintains the hardware: We moved our servers to a colocation facility to reduce costs.

In linguistics, colocation (more often spelled collocation) refers to words that frequently appear together.
