Our story

Started by someone
tired of bad hosting.

UKNode was founded in 2022 by Houssam Chergui, after years of dealing with unreliable hosting providers, slow support, and hidden fees.

Rather than put up with it, he built the alternative he wanted: owned hardware in a UK data centre, transparent pricing, and support from people who can actually fix the thing — not a chatbot and a scripted reply.

Our mission

Prove that good hosting doesn't need to be expensive.

Competitive pricing, with no compromise on performance, reliability, or support.

What we stand for

Four things we
don't compromise on.

Customer first

Every decision starts with whether it actually helps the people running workloads on our kit.

Reliability

Redundant infrastructure and a 99.9% monthly uptime target. The boring stuff, done properly.

Innovation

We run current technology — NVMe, LiteSpeed, modern virtualisation — not whatever was cheap five years ago.

Community

UK-owned and UK-staffed, supporting UK businesses as they grow.
