The Problem

Common Challenges for Schools, MATs, universities, and edtech companies running educational platforms

These are the issues that consistently come up when Schools, MATs, universities, and edtech companies running educational platforms try to scale on the wrong infrastructure.

Challenge 1

Children's data on multi-tenant cloud platforms creates safeguarding and GDPR compliance risks that governors and parents question

Challenge 2

Shared hosting performance degrades during peak usage - exam periods, results days, and parent evenings when the school platform must work

Challenge 3

Cloud SaaS platforms lock schools into per-user pricing that escalates as student and staff numbers grow

How We Help

How Glitch Servers Solves This

Schools and educational institutions handle children's data - one of the most sensitive data categories under UK GDPR. Shared cloud hosting introduces multi-tenant risks, and many cloud providers store data outside the UK by default. A dedicated server provides single-tenant, UK-resident infrastructure for Moodle, student information systems, school websites, and internal communication platforms. Full control over access, encryption, and data retention meets the expectations of parents, governors, and regulators.

External resources: LINX (London Internet Exchange) and RIPE NCC (European IP registry).


A Glitch Servers dedicated server provides isolated UK infrastructure for educational workloads. Install Moodle, Canvas, or any LMS with full root access. Host your school website, student portal, and staff intranet on the same machine. 32GB RAM handles hundreds of concurrent Moodle users during exams. UK data residency means children's data stays in the UK on hardware only your school accesses. DDoS protection keeps the platform online during critical periods.
