'Colo' is short for 'Colocation'.
Colocation is a hosting service which offer to house and power servers in their multi-tenant data centers. This can have several profits depending on the services included by the data center operator. At a minimum, colocation involves a place to house the server, the power to run it, the HVAC to keep it cool, and the network connection to operate it online. The colocation services can then be expanded upon to include everything required to ensure that it is working 100% of the time without any effort from the company.
