Opened in August 2006 BlueSquare House is 10,000 sq ft in size, it provides up to 16 Amps per cabinet location with N+1 redundancy at all times. Due to the success of BlueSquare, BlueSquare House reached full capacity within 9 months of opening and two additional datacentres were built on the same campus. BlueSquare 2 and 3 have a combined size of 20,100 sq ft, and have all the same features of the original BlueSquare House.

Express Hosting are pleased to offer exclusive colocation options in the Maidenhead campus on the outskirts of London.This data centre is easily accessible by both road and rail, and benefits from a sub 2ms latency to London Docklands.

Being outside of central London, Maidenhead benefits from low prices whilst still providing high performance. The data centre is on a separate power grid from the central London data centres, making it an excellent secondary site. The site also has all core Tier 1 bandwidth providers available through the Express Hosting network. This facility is part of the Express Hosting network and is connected to most major data centres across the UK and the Netherlands. All customers are provided with direct access to our Network Operations Centre and all customers’ connections will be proactively monitored 24x7 by our team.

Using the Maidenhead data centre comes with all the benefits you'd expect from one of the largest private networks in the UK, such as high speed IP Transit at low prices, Interconnects to all other major UK data centres, and high volume data backup amongst many other services.
