UK Data Sovereignty Hosting
Data that never leaves the UK - all infrastructure, routing, and storage within UK jurisdiction
Data that never leaves the UK - all infrastructure, routing, and storage within UK jurisdiction
About This Feature
UK Data Sovereignty Hosting from Glitch Servers provides infrastructure where data is stored, processed, and routed entirely within the United Kingdom - never transiting non-UK networks or resting on non-UK servers. Data sovereignty has become an increasingly important requirement for UK public sector organisations, regulated industries, and businesses with contractual obligations around data residency following Brexit and the invalidation of the EU-US Privacy Shield under Schrems II. UK-native routing through AS212868 with LINX and LONAP internet exchange peering keeps British internet traffic on domestic network paths - unlike most major cloud providers, whose UK regions still route traffic through Continental European or US infrastructure for certain operations. All Glitch data centres are UK-based, meaning stored data never leaves UK territory. This satisfies UK GDPR restrictions on international data transfers, government cloud security requirements under G-Cloud frameworks, and contractual data residency clauses increasingly common in enterprise procurement. No US CLOUD Act exposure applies to data stored exclusively on UK-incorporated infrastructure without US parent company jurisdiction.

Use Cases
This feature is particularly well suited to these workloads and teams.
Frameworks and tenders increasingly require UK-only data handling. UK-owned infrastructure in a UK data centre satisfies the sovereignty requirement without caveats about overseas parent companies.
Client confidentiality obligations sit uneasily with cloud regions you can't pin down. Single-jurisdiction hosting means one legal regime governs access to your data.
If your customer contracts or insurers require UK data residency, hosting with a UK-owned provider on UK soil is the simplest way to comply - and to prove it.
