RapidSwitch offers your business a wide range of server and mass storage solutions that can save you both time and money. Choosing from our current range of top spec colocation services will mean you have the capacity to expand your business according to demand without waiting for your host to change your hardware.
A colocated server is located in a dedicated space that has state-of-the-art security measures in place as standard. Unlike a dedicated server you retain ownership of the hardware and can create any spec you need. If your business prefers to retain ownership and control of its hardware and network equipment, a colocation server is the right option for you.
Housed in an environment designed to significantly increase your bandwidth capacity and the speed and reliability of your Internet connection, your colocation server is also backed up with on-site support. With this in mind you can get on with focusing on your business without ever worrying about losing your Internet connection. By collocating your servers you also free up your in-house network – you'll see the effect of this greater efficiency on your business systems immediately.
A colocation server is one of the most secure ways to house your servers around and investing in one means you can provide continuous uptime and won't lose customers simply because your colocation server was down as they tried to visit your site. In the ecommerce sector, it is essential to have a reliable and strong bandwidth and by choosing a colocation server you are guaranteeing a more consistent and dependable network connection for your business-critical systems.
Colocation servers are an excellent investment for companies who have a big web presence but do not wish to have employ IT experts in order to avoid downtime. Without the need to house your servers, you can instantly free up more space in the office and automatically get the benefit of 24hr support from a dedicated team of IT specialists in the unlikely event of hardware failure, without having to employ additional staff.
Colocation allows your business to upgrade your hardware as the demand grows. Unlike dedicated servers, which have set specifications, a colocation unit is a flexible data solution that can expand with your business needs. As a colocation user, you are free to switch operating systems and software packages as you need to and are therefore better placed to stay on top of the demands of your business.
Our private data centre has been up and running since 2007 and features on site security for your peace of mind including state-of-the-art measures to respond to fire, power shortage and security threats. All units are kept at optimum temperatures via site-specific air conditioning year round, no matter what the weather. As a result your connection will never be lost due to bad weather again.

From as little as £34 per month your company can benefit from 3000 GB bandwidth a month, guaranteed space in our purpose-built data centre and use of our high-speed 10 GB network.
