  co-location
       
           /koh'loh-kay`sh*n/ or /koh`loh-kay'sh*n/ (Or
          "colocation") Providing network connections such as {Internet}
          {leased lines} to several {servers} housed together in a
          {server room}.  This is typically provided as a commercial


          service.
       
          The hyphenated form is correct and the most common on the web,
          followed by "colocation".  "collocation" (/ko`loh-kay'sh*n/,
          not /koh'-/), is an old word with a similar meaning.  It is
          common in dictionaries and follows the pattern of other
          Latin-derived words like collect, college, and collate, but is
          least common on the web.
       
          The verbal form is "to colocate" or "co-locate" (commonly
          /koh'loh`kayt/, also (US) /koh`loh'kayt/).
