Our network

The network your sites sit on.

Seven Tier 1 transit providers, direct interconnects to Google and AWS, and peering at LINX and LONAP. All of it inside UK data centres, with always-on DDoS mitigation filtering traffic before it reaches us.

100Gbps backbone · 7 Tier 1 carriers · LINX & LONAP · ISO 27001 sites

Connectivity

Multi-homed, so one carrier having a bad day is not your problem.

Traffic reaches your site over seven Tier 1 networks rather than one. If a route degrades, it moves to another without anyone filing a ticket.

Seven Tier 1 carriers

Colt, Cogent, Lumen, NTT, GTT, PCCW Global and TISparkle. Multi-homed BGP, so no single carrier is a point of failure.

Direct interconnects

Private links to Google, AWS and CDN77. Traffic to and from the big clouds skips the public internet.

LINX and LONAP peering

Peering at both London exchanges keeps UK-to-UK traffic short, which is most of it for a UK audience.

DDoS protection

100Gbps of DDoS protection, always on.

Filtering runs upstream of our network, 24 hours a day, on every plan. There is nothing to switch on and nothing to add to your bill. We are alerted the moment an attack starts.

  • 100Gbps of mitigation capacity, upstream of our servers
  • Always on, so there is no window while it spins up
  • Covers our whole IP ranges, so every server is included
  • On every plan and every product, at no extra cost

Filtering is already running when an attack begins, so there is no window where you are waiting for it to be switched on. The first you hear about it is usually us telling you it happened.

Data centres

UK sites, certified and staffed around the clock.

Your data stays in the UK. The facilities are carrier-neutral and independently audited, with engineers on site around the clock.

ISO 9001 and 27001

Our data centres hold ISO 9001:2022 and ISO 27001:2022, certified by a UKAS-accredited body and audited every year.

A and B power feeds

Dual feeds to every rack as standard, N+N redundant UPS behind them, and generator backup behind that.

Redundant cooling

Cooling is designed without a single point of failure, so losing one unit does not raise the room temperature.

Staffed 24/7/365

On-site engineers and remote hands at all hours, so physical work does not wait for the morning.

Footprint

Three Tier 3 UK data centres

Your sites are spread across them, so one site having a bad day does not take yours with it.

A presence in four countries

The hosting itself stays in the UK, under UK law.

Carrier-neutral and audited

ISO 9001:2022 and ISO 27001:2022, certified by a UKAS-accredited body and audited every year.
