Infrastructure we own and continue to invest in

From the beginning, we chose to own and operate our own infrastructure rather than rent capacity on someone else's platform. We are not a reseller platform. We run what we build.

Continual investment

We continually improve our UK hosting platform, investing in capacity, connectivity and security as our customers’ needs evolve.

Hardware we own

HPE servers, Fortinet security appliances and Arista networking. We are not tied to a single vendor, and we design for resilience.

Scale we control

Our own server, storage and networking infrastructure gives us control over how the platform develops and supports your business.

Long-term control

Sustained reinvestment rather than short-term gain — the reason the platform is still ours to shape.

Three UK data centres

We manage the network, control the security layer and operate the virtualisation platforms that power our services.

Our equipment is deployed within established UK data centre locations in York, Wakefield and Nottingham. The facilities provide resilient power and cooling. We retain responsibility for the hardware, network and virtualisation environment that deliver your service.

How we work

We believe hosting should be built to last

Hosting is an industry built on introductory offers and rented capacity. We made different choices in 2001 and have not changed them — owning the platform, pricing it honestly, and dealing with people properly.

Pricing

Our pricing is clear and sustainable, which means the price you renew at is the price you signed up for.

Ownership

When you control the hardware and network, you take responsibility for the service.

People

We treat customers and colleagues with care, take ownership of problems and keep people informed.
