Where your workload lives.
Single-tenant cabinets we own and rack ourselves — not a slice of someone else's hyperscaler.
Peered where it matters.
Routed how it should be.
Direct private interconnections to the world's largest networks. No middlemen, no congestion — just the fastest path to your users.
1500+ networks, one hop away.
Microsoft, Cloudflare, Akamai, Apple, Zen and the rest reached via LINX Manchester and LINX London — no third-party congestion in the path.
Diverse upstreams.
Hurricane Electric, Cogent, Zayo and GTT — for the global reach peering does not cover. If one provider drops a route, the others stay live; you stay reachable.
BGP, RPKI, IPv6 native.
Full IPv6 throughout, RPKI-validated route origins, and BCP38 ingress filtering on every edge. The infrastructure follows MANRS norms — no bogons, no spoofed source addresses.
Single-digit ms across the UK.
Direct peering at LINX means traffic to UK consumer ISPs leaves the rack and arrives within a couple of milliseconds — gaming, finance, real-time apps stay snappy.
No single point of failure.
Two diverse Juniper chassis, four Tier-1 transit providers, multiple peering fabrics. If one path drops, traffic reroutes automatically — you stay online.
Built for the modern internet.
Every customer gets a /64 IPv6 prefix as standard. Every prefix we announce is RPKI-signed; we filter what we accept against the global RPKI repository.
* Tested ping to 1.1.1.1 DNS.

Always-on protection
No manual activation required. Every server is protected from day one.
Edge-level scrubbing
Malicious traffic is filtered at Rocket Fibre's network edge, not your server.
400Gbps+ capacity
Routers with massive headroom for volumetric attacks.
Zero performance impact
Clean traffic flows unimpeded. You only notice when you check the logs.
Premium IP Transit via multiple Tier 1 carriers and global Internet Exchanges. Enterprise-grade infrastructure protecting your workloads.
Built in the UK.
Compliant by design.
UKNode is a UK-registered Ltd with all infrastructure in our Manchester data centre. Your data never leaves the UK, your contract is UK law, and your support team is in the same time zone as your business.
UK-owned, UK-operated.
A UK-registered limited company under English law, with no offshore parent. Your contract, your dispute-resolution and your invoicing all under a single jurisdiction.
Manchester data centre.
A Tier III facility on the LINX backbone (Manchester + London) — physical UK presence with redundant power, resilient cooling, and in-house operations.
Your data stays in the UK.
No data leaves the UK in the ordinary course of operations. Everything — customer data, backups, logs — is physically hosted in our Manchester data centre. Data Processing Agreements available on request.
Zero hyperscaler dependence.
We run on hardware we own and rack ourselves. Your workload does not get re-exported to AWS, Azure or GCP behind the scenes — there is no second-party data processor in the chain.
English law and jurisdiction.
Disputes resolve in UK courts under English law. No US discovery requests, no foreign subpoenas. Public bodies and regulated industries pass procurement faster.
Signable Data Processing Agreement.
We sign DPAs on request — sub-processors named, transfer-impact assessment included, schedule of technical measures appended.
Our Manchester facility.
Tier III data centre on the LINX Manchester backbone — redundant N+1 power, resilient cooling, and physical security 24/7.
Racks we own. Cages we lock.
Single-tenant suites, controlled-access cages, and our own hardware racked by our own engineers — no shared neighbours.
Caged, lit, monitored.
Engineered. Owned. Operated.
-
Single-tenant suitesNo shared neighbours. Your hardware in its own locked cage.
-
Hands-on remote workOn-site engineers for installs, swaps, and the awkward 2 a.m. moments.
-
Owned hardwareWe rack our own. No leased boxes, no reseller layers, no surprises.
Built for developers.
Loved by ops teams.
Servers running
24/7, across the UK.
At any moment, thousands of workloads are running on UKNode infrastructure — game servers, web apps, databases, mail, the lot.
* Tested ping to 1.1.1.1 DNS from the Manchester edge.
Live from Greater Manchester.
Every workload above runs from a single physical UK location — Salford Quays in view, our racks just down the road.
Trusted by UK teams
who care about uptime.
Real customers, real workloads. We won't share quotes from companies that don't exist — these are the actual people running production on UKNode.
Migrated five client sites off a US shared host. The free migration team did the lot in a weekend, the cPanel screens look identical to what we had, and the support replies come from an actual UK engineer. No regrets.
We needed UK-only data residency for a public-sector pilot and a sensible price point. UKNode hit both. The VPS tier with NVMe + EPYC has been rock-solid for our background workers.
DDoS hits used to take us offline for hours on our previous host. Since switching to UKNode the mitigation just absorbs them — we usually only notice when we check the logs the next day.
Simple, honest pricing.
All plans include full root access, DDoS protection, and UK-based support.
