Single Server Colocation (1U-4U), Quarter and Half Rack Colocation for dedicated enhanced security and Full Rack Colocation for larger setups with flexible power options.
Our single server colocation provides exceptional value for businesses that need reliable, secure rack space with easy access to the Midlands and London. Choose 1U, 2U, 3U, or 4U of colocation in our UK data centre, each package backed by generous power allocation, five free IP addresses, and ample bandwidth.
Every single server colocation plan includes dual power ports fed from diverse UPS strings, plus a range of high-bandwidth, high-power options.
Our quarter rack colocation gives your servers an added layer of physical security with their own locked front and rear doors. Each quarter rack is a dedicated section of a full cabinet, secured by a combination lock that only you and our data centre staff can access - keeping your hardware protected in a shared, cost-effective footprint.
Every quarter rack comes with dual A+B power feeds up to 8A per rack and up to 10Gbps connectivity, billed per TB or via CDR (committed data rate) models, giving you the flexibility to match your exact requirements. With our quarter rack colocation options, you get the reassurance that your equipment stays secure and easily accessible whenever you need it.
Our half rack colocation gives you more dedicated space and enhanced physical security for hosting your servers and communications equipment. With a locked front and rear door, you have complete control over who can access your hardware - and the privacy of your own section of the cabinet.
Each half rack comes with generous A+B power feeds for extra redundancy and reliability, plus dependable high-bandwidth connectivity. With double the rack space of a quarter rack, you get ample room to expand your infrastructure as your business grows. And because every half rack colocation unit sits in a secure, private environment in our UK data centre, you get the reassurance that your equipment is protected around the clock.
Our full rack colocation packages offer unparalleled flexibility and can be fully customised to meet your specific requirements. With power starting at 8 Amps and scaling in 1 Amp increments up to 32 Amps per rack, you can be confident your equipment always receives the power it needs to run at optimal levels.
Every full rack comes with A+B power feeds as standard for redundancy and uninterrupted service, plus 30 minutes of remote hands support - so our expert team can handle technical tasks on-site while you focus on your core business. Each full rack colocation package also includes a generous transit allocation, billed either via CDR (committed data rate) or per TB to suit your needs.
With a dedicated full rack in our secure UK data centre, you get everything you need to keep your critical applications and services running smoothly.

We customise the resilience and security of your cage to suit your exact needs, working with you on power, cooling, and connectivity.
Each caged area is built from high-quality materials for an extra layer of physical security, giving you a secure, dedicated footprint you stay in full control of.

How Does Colocation Work?
Colocation works by providing businesses with physical space, power, cooling, and network connectivity within our data centre facilities.
