Overview

Colocation Hosting in Newcastle - What to Expect

Colocation in Newcastle from Glitch Servers provides carrier-neutral rack space with direct LINX and LONAP connectivity - backed by AMD Ryzen hardware, NVMe Gen4 storage, and UK-native routing through AS212868. Tyne and Wear's digital, financial services, engineering, and life sciences sector demands infrastructure that it owns and controls - not virtualised resources shared with unknown neighbours. Our Newcastle colocation facility gives businesses that control: your hardware, your OS stack, your security policies, sitting Our Newcastle infrastructure connects to Newcastle via LINX and LONAP peering at AS212868, routing on UK-native paths without Continental European transit hops. Connectivity options include peering with North East ISPs. Power comes from redundant UPS systems with diesel generator backup, tested monthly under full load.

Colocation at Glitch Servers is carrier-neutral, meaning you are not locked to a single upstream provider. The facility connects to LINX and LONAP through AS212868, giving colocated customers access to over 800 networks reachable directly via the UK's primary internet exchanges without paying Tier-1 transit rates for every byte. Power infrastructure is N+1 redundant with UPS and generator backup.

BGP multi-homing through NTT and GTT Tier-1 upstream carriers provides path diversity and automatic failover if a single transit provider experiences degradation. Remote hands are available 24/7 for customers who need physical access assistance, hardware reboots, or cabling work without travelling to the facility.

UK data sovereignty is preserved by design - traffic from colocated servers traverses UK and Irish exchange points before reaching international networks, supporting GDPR and UK GDPR compliance requirements for data residency. Full rack options and pricing are detailed on the UK colocation page.

External resources: LINX (London Internet Exchange) and the ICO (UK data protection authority).
