About This Feature

Unmetered Colocation in the UK

Unmetered Colocation in the UK 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. Unmetered colocation provides rack space with an included bandwidth allocation - you pay a flat monthly rate regardless of how much data your servers transfer. This is particularly valuable for CDN nodes, media streaming infrastructure, backup servers, and other bandwidth-intensive workloads where metered pricing creates unpredictable monthly bills. Our UK unmetered colocation plans provide a committed bandwidth port size (1G or 10G) with no per-GB overage charges.

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.

Use Cases

Who This Is For

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

1

High-Volume Media & Content

Video streaming platforms, software distribution networks, and content-heavy applications that move terabytes per month - unmetered bandwidth eliminates the unpredictable overage bills of metered connections.

2

Backup & Archive Services

Managed backup providers and archival services with continuous replication flows - unmetered bandwidth removes the cost ceiling that makes metered colo impractical for 24/7 data movement.

3

Large-Scale Web Applications

High-traffic web platforms, CDN origin servers, and API gateways with bursty or sustained multi-Gbps traffic profiles that make per-GB pricing uneconomical.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Metered colocation charges per GB of data transferred beyond a free allocation. Unmetered colocation provides a committed port speed (e.g., 1G or 10G) with no per-GB charge - you can use the full port speed all month without overage fees.
Unmetered plans use a committed port speed on shared uplink infrastructure - similar to how home broadband is 'unmetered' on a shared physical cable. For dedicated port guarantees, dedicated uplink ports are available at a premium.
Unmetered plans include a 1Gbps port; a 10Gbps burst port is an optional upgrade. You can use your port continuously - the 10G option is burst capacity rather than a committed rate. Fair-use policies apply for sustained 95th-percentile traffic above stated levels.
