Server Colocation is where you place your own server in our data centre in Telehouse. We provide everything you need to ensure a fast and reliable connection to the internet. See our network speeds measured in the independant tests.

There are a number of reasons why companies make the leap from shared hosting to colocating their own servers :

A large number of sites to host

Custom software that is not permitted on shared servers

The requirement of utmost security of data.
You provide the server, we provide everything else - rackspace, connection to the Internet, IP addresses, switchable power supply, backups, primary and secondary DNS, email; quite simply anything that is needed. It is your responsibility to run the server, alternatively if you require a managed service please see our section on dedicated servers.

We house all our servers in one location in the UK alone : Telehouse, Docklands.

This is the premium location for performance, reliability and security. All of the top 20 companies participating in the webperf tests have their premium network here.

What is Colocation?

Colocation is the placement of a computer or network equipment in an external data centre. Management of the computer or network equipment remains the responsibility of the owner of the computer or the equipment. An Internet Service Provider (ISP) generally provides access to the computer or the equipment. Reliability and performance of the network is the ISP’s responsibility.

Why Colocate?

The main reason for colocation is to achieve ‘peace of mind’. ‘Peace of mind’ is achieved through:

Security
Computers and network equipment are located in racks housed in data centres which are guarded buildings manned 24 hours a day. The racks themselves are locked and only ‘allowed’ personnel are given access.

Cost Savings

The cost of installing a single high bandwidth line is far higher than the costs of locating a server in a Data Centre.

Reliability
The network to a Data Centre contains ‘redundant routes’; this means that a computer or piece of network equipment has more than one link to the Internet. Should a single link be broken access to the computer or network equipment remains intact. Due to the high cost of installing a high bandwidth line typically equipment or a computer housed at the premises of an organisation has only a single link and should this link fail for whatever reason connection to the Internet is lost.

All racks have power redundancy, should there be fluctuations in power supply the computer or equipment remains functioning.
