One network for every size
1U through full cabinets all land on AS48825 with free DDoS, unmetered commits and the same multi-homed UK transit your production traffic already expects.

Why Fast2host
Why Fast2host for UK Server Colocation & Rack Space
Owner-operated Cambridge facility. UK engineers. One ASN for every rack size on this page — from 1U through private cabinets.
Owner-operated Cambridge DC
UK server colocation & rack space in a Tier III facility we own — not a white-label cage inside a third-party campus.
Resilient power paths
A+B feeds, UPS and diesel standby sized to each rack space package so feed loss does not take your servers offline.
Our ASN, your uplink
Land on AS48825 with UK peering and multi-homed transit — the same backbone that carries Fast2host hosting traffic.
Engineers on the floor
Remote hands, smart hands and facility access from Cambridge staff — phone and ticket, around the clock.
UK compliance & residency
UK Server Colocation with audit-ready controls
Keep servers and rack space on UK soil — with the policies, access logs and facility evidence auditors expect from a serious colocation provider.
ISO 27001
Facility and operations certified so UK server colocation sits inside a documented ISMS — not an ad-hoc hall.
PCI-aware rack space
Physical access controls that support payment and regulated workloads colocating servers in the UK.
UK data residency
Hardware, racks and support stay in England — useful for GDPR, public sector and contracts that forbid offshore hosting.
Evidence on request
Visitor logs, CCTV extracts and access records when your auditors need proof of how rack space is protected.
