Rackspace and Colocation at BlueSquare Milton Keynes

Express Hosting are pleased to offer a wide range of colocation solutions at the new Milton Keynes data centre. One of the very few tier 4 facilities in the UK, Milton Keynes is built to the highest standards, with an N+N redundancy level.

Being outside of London, Milton Keynes benefits from lower 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. Milton Keynes also has all core Tier 1 bandwidth providers available through the Express Hosting network. The Milton Keynes data centre is part of the Express Hosting multiple 10 Gigabit 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 Milton Keynes 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.
