From a single server to a private data centre
Two decades of organic growth — from early ecommerce websites to owning infrastructure, peering and colocation in Cambridge.
Our journey began in 2001, building websites for customers at a time when platforms like Facebook and YouTube didn't exist, and PayPal was the new frontier in online payments. Back then, the demand for ecommerce websites was booming. Today, while we no longer design websites, we've evolved into a trusted provider of dedicated and cloud infrastructure hosting for thousands of customers.
From our privately owned data centre in Cambridge, we deliver secure, high-performance hosting solutions to corporate and private clients around the world.
Our data centre is designed to meet the high availability and redundancy standards typically associated with Tier 3 facilities. Featuring N+1 power and cooling infrastructure, along with resilient, high-speed connectivity, we ensure continuous uptime and a stable environment for your mission critical operations.
Our BGP network (AS48825) provides carrier independence and full redundancy across power, connectivity, and on-site security.
Fast2host is also committed to minimising the impact of its activities on the environment. More information.
Fast2host is still a privately owned hosting ISP, dedicated to delivering a wide range of services from shared web hosting and VPS to dedicated servers and colocation. Founded with just a single shared server, Fast2host has grown steadily through profit-funded organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. Today, we operate hundreds of servers within our data centre.
