We believe in full transparency. Here's exactly what's running in our Leicester datacenter.
We keep prices low by running on enterprise-grade refurbished server hardware — retired Dell PowerEdge and HP ProLiant kit. It's not the newest generation, but it's reliable, fast, and the savings go straight to your bill. If you need cutting-edge CPUs we might not be the right fit — but for dependable UK hosting at a genuinely fair price, you're in the right place.

This isn't the latest-generation silicon. Single-threaded performance won't match a modern Ryzen or i9 chip. If your workload needs top-end CPU performance, we'll tell you that honestly.
By running on carefully maintained enterprise-grade refurbished hardware, we can pass genuine savings onto you. These servers were built to last and still perform excellently for the vast majority of use cases.
