GDPR Compliant Web Hosting UK

About This Feature

GDPR Compliant Web Hosting UK

GDPR Compliant Web Hosting UK from Glitch Servers provides infrastructure where all data is stored and processed within the United Kingdom, satisfying the UK GDPR requirement that personal data is not transferred outside the UK without adequate safeguards. Following Brexit and the UK's departure from the EU GDPR framework, UK organisations must comply with the UK GDPR - administered by the Information Commissioner's Office - which mirrors EU GDPR requirements while applying to UK-based data controllers and processors. Hosting personal data on UK infrastructure eliminates the need to rely on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses for the hosting relationship itself. AS212868 routing through LINX and LONAP keeps UK traffic on domestic network paths without transiting Continental European infrastructure. Documented security controls including network-level DDoS protection, Imunify360 malware scanning for web hosting environments, access logging, and encrypted data transmission support Article 32 technical security measure requirements. We are registered with the ICO as a data processor. Data processing agreements are available for business customers who need to document their processor relationships under UK GDPR Article 28.

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

Use Cases

Who This Is For

This feature is particularly well suited to these workloads and teams.

1

UK businesses processing personal data

Hosting on UK servers keeps processing inside the UK GDPR regime - no international-transfer assessments, standard contractual clauses, or adequacy questions to document.

2

Organisations avoiding US data transfers

If your privacy policy promises data stays in the UK, your infrastructure has to match it. UK-owned servers in a UK data centre make that promise true by default.

3

Teams answering DPO and client due diligence

Processor questions - where is data stored, who can access it, how are breaches notified - get straightforward answers backed by UK data residency and documented security controls.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Hosting personal data on UK infrastructure means the data does not leave the UK. Under UK GDPR Article 44, transfers of personal data to third countries require either an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards. By hosting entirely within the UK, you eliminate this requirement for the hosting relationship itself. This is particularly relevant for businesses whose customers or data subjects are UK residents.
We can provide: a signed Data Processing Agreement (DPA) under UK GDPR Article 28, documentation of our security measures, confirmation of UK data residency, our ICO registration details, and network architecture documentation showing UK routing. These documents support your Record of Processing Activities and demonstrate compliance with your due diligence obligations for processor selection.
UK GDPR and EU GDPR are materially identical in most provisions - both require appropriate technical and organisational security measures, restrict international data transfers, and require processor agreements. The key difference is jurisdiction: UK GDPR is enforced by the ICO rather than an EU supervisory authority. UK businesses operating only in the UK need to comply with UK GDPR; those with EU operations may need to comply with both.
