MANCHESTER COLOCATION.

House your servers in our Manchester datacentres, with the peace of mind that they're in the ultimate safe, technical environment.

Customise your Shared Colocation

Please select the most appropriate options from the form below. You will be given an instant quotation for your colocation, which you'll then be able to order online.

Base Colocation

Choose the base options for your colocation package from this first section. You must select an option for each of the dropdown boxes below.

Colocation Package

Please choose the highest variable for your requirements. For example, if you need 1U of space but 1A of power, please choose "2U of space with 1.0A of power". If you are unsure about the power consumption of your server(s) please contact us before placing an order.

Bandwidth Allowance

Power Sockets

All power sockets can be remotely power cycled through our support centre. If you need to feed dual PSUs please remember to choose two for each server.

Network Ports

Don't forget extra network ports for any onboard DRAC or iLO cards

KVM over IP (Remote Management) Ports

Control your server remotely as if you were sat in front of it. If you lock yourself out of your machine, or need to access the BIOS, KVM over IP will provide you with full console access to your machine. More information about KVM over IP.

IP Addresses

Select as many as you really need. We don't charge extra for IPs. But please note that all IP addresses are issued in strict accordance with RIPE guidelines, and you will be expected to justify large requirements.

Installation Type

Select whether you're intending to have your servers couriered to us, or whether you'd like to come in-person to the datacentre to do the install (we'll contact you to schedule an appointment).

Additional Services

Below are some optional addons that you may like to consider to enhance your colocation. If you require any further explanation of these options, please contact our sales team.

Hardware Firewall

Our shared enterprise class firewalls offer you a "virtual" firewall, which is fully under your control. You can edit the rules through a web-based control panel. Our firewalls are configured in failover pairs such that if the primary firewall fails, the secondary will take over within a matter of seconds.

Dedicated hardware firewalls are available for those situations where a more complex requirement exists, or a VPN endpoint is needed. More information about our firewalls.

If you choose "not required" your server(s) will be put on a completely unfiltered internet connection.

Offsite NAS Space for Backups

Offsite NAS space for reliable and automatic backups (no tape swapping)! The NAS server is located in a remote datacentre, with fibre connectivity. The NAS space can be mapped as a network share/drive or accessed by FTP for your complete convenience. If you need a bit more space, take a dedicated 500GB (or bigger) appliance, from just £50 per month. More information about NAS Space.
