co-location
<networking> /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/).
