Our equipment
is located across two citis, London and Manchester and across a number of datacentres within each.
Both of these locations are totally
independent and the facilities within each are operated by independantly by leaders in carrier neutral,
high availability data centre facilities
in the UK.
The reason we locate our equipment within third party data centres and not
in our own buildings is that we recognise
the multi million pounds of investment
that has been poured into the facilities
we have chosen, which are second to
none.
This is the same approach used by
a large number of hosting providers
who provide services ranging from
budget-oriented shared hosting solutions,
to high-end dedicated services geared
toward mission critical applications.
Unlike many hosting providers that
use custom DNS and evasive advertising
to hide the fact that they co-locate,
we do not try to hide this, nor claim "our own data centres" and  believe
that co-location is the best strategy
for Hosting UK. To this end we have
located our equipment at both locations
in our own racks within these world class facilities.
Engineers are based on site to ensure
the fastest response should any physical
intervention be required at any time.
Maintaining our equipment in these
two centres allows us to do what we
do best: develop and support targeted
hosting products, while our data centre
providers do what they do best: operate
world class data centres. It is a
logical partnership that creates a
win-win-win situation for our customers.
