I'd venture to say 99% of the hosting providers colocate or put their servers in an office building, as opposed to a data center.
A data center when conventionally thought of (especially on this board) means waterless fire suppression systems, high-tech security, raised flooring, large scale cooling systems, large scale battery systems/generators, and 24-hour techs.
Someone can also call a datacenter -- just a room tiled up and build up with racks and ran some fiber into it -- and using the word "datacenter" is every bit as accurate.
