Find out more about our Green Hosting
Colocation hosting is where a business places its own physical servers or networking equipment inside a third-party data centre. The data centre provides rack space, power, cooling, physical security and network connectivity.
The customer owns and manages the hardware, operating system and software. In simple terms, colocation means your servers run inside a professional colocation data center environment without giving up control of the equipment.
Colocation means housing your own hardware in a data centre, while cloud hosting means using virtualised resources on provider owned hardware. Cloud vs colocation comes down to control, ownership and cost model. Colocation gives full hardware control and predictable monthly costs. Cloud hosting is often better for variable workloads where usage changes quickly.
CWCS colocation includes secure rack space, allocated power, cooling, network connectivity, DDoS protection and physical data centre security. CWCS provides the facility around your hardware.
CWCS does not provide hardware, operating system management or software management as part of colocation. Customers own and manage their own equipment.
CWCS offers single server colocation, quarter rack colocation, half rack colocation and full rack colocation.
Single server options provide 1U, 2U or 4U space in Nottingham. Quarter rack provides 9U in Nottingham.
Half rack provides 20U and full rack provides 42U in Nottingham, Manchester and London.
CWCS offers UK colocation in Nottingham, Manchester and London.
Nottingham supports single server, quarter rack, half rack and full rack deployments.
Manchester and London support half rack and full rack deployments. Each location gives your business a named UK data centre for owned infrastructure.
CWCS colocation can support UK GDPR compliance because colocated hardware is housed in UK data centres and CWCS holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification. Your business remains responsible for the data software and systems running on your hardware.
CWCS provides the secure UK facility, physical controls and certification evidence needed for supplier due diligence.
Colocation hosting cost in the UK depends on rack size, power allocation, connectivity requirements and data centre location. CWCS provides colocation pricing by quote because each deployment has different technical requirements. There are no usage based compute charges in standard colocation. Speak to CWCS with your rack size, location and power needs for an accurate quote.
Authorised contacts can access colocated hardware in a CWCS data centre subject to identity checks, site procedures and access controls. Physical access is logged and controlled to protect all customers in the facility. Confirm access arrangements with CWCS during the quote and onboarding process.
CWCS colocation provides carrier neutral connectivity, fibre to the rack, LINX connected network access, DDoS protection and speeds up to 10 Gbps on half rack and full rack options.
Colocation is usually better than running your own server room when your business needs enterprise power, cooling, physical security and connectivity without building those facilities in-house.
A colocation provider such as CWCS gives you professional infrastructure while you retain ownership of your hardware. The benefits of colocation are strongest for stable workloads, compliance needs, disaster recovery and predictable monthly costs.
