About This Feature
IPv6 Colocation Hosting UK from Glitch Servers lets you house your own hardware in our UK data centre while connecting to our AS212868 network for both IPv4 and IPv6 transit. Colocation customers receive a dedicated IPv4 allocation and routed IPv6 space from our RIPE NCC registered address pool - announced natively via BGP, peered directly at LINX and LONAP for optimal routing to UK residential and business ISPs. Unlike colocation providers that only offer IPv4 connectivity and expect you to arrange IPv6 separately, we provision dual-stack access as part of the standard connectivity package. Your equipment connects to our 100G DWDM backbone with direct peering relationships to BT, Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk, and the major UK content networks via LINX - meaning your IPv6 traffic takes native paths rather than inefficient transit routes. We are a RIPE NCC member and LIR (Local Internet Registry), enabling us to justify and announce your address space under our AS or assist with PI (Provider Independent) space assignments for customers requiring their own ASN announcements. For colocation customers running hosting infrastructure, network services, or appliances that require significant IPv6 address space, we can accommodate /48 and larger allocations with documented RIPE justification - giving your services the address room modern multi-tenant infrastructure requires. Traffic from every server passes through Juniper MX204 edge routers and Juniper EX top-of-rack switches - a consistent, enterprise-grade switching and routing stack rather than a mix of commodity hardware.
Key Benefits
Every plan includes these capabilities as standard - no tier-gating, no hidden extras.
Native IPv6 transit from AS212868 - BGP announced, LINX and LONAP peered, no 6in4 tunnels or third-party IPv6 brokers.
RIPE NCC LIR status enables us to justify and assign IPv6 space from our own allocation, or announce your existing PI space under our ASN.
DDoS scrubbing on both IPv4 and IPv6 - volumetric attacks are mitigated at the network edge before reaching your colocated hardware.
PTR (reverse DNS) records configurable for your IPv4 and IPv6 space - essential for mail, SIP, and any service requiring rDNS validation.
Technical Specifications
Real specs on real hardware - not marketing numbers.
IPv6: /64 standard; /48 and larger available with RIPE justification
Peering: LINX, LONAP - 700+ IPv6 peers for optimal UK routing
PI space: announce your own IPv4/IPv6 space via LOA
Use Cases
This feature is particularly well suited to these workloads and teams.
Web hosting companies and VPS providers colocating their infrastructure need significant IPv6 address space for customer allocation - our LIR status and /48+ allocations provide the address room multi-tenant platforms require.
Businesses running VPN, proxy, or network appliance infrastructure that requires large numbers of routable IPv6 addresses benefit from native announcement with no per-IP fees.
Enterprises with their own RIPE PI space who want to colocate hardware and retain ownership of their IP resources - we announce your PI space via BGP under a standard LOA arrangement.
