About Us | RapidSwitch

The Infrastructure Services Experts

RapidSwitch is one of the world’s largest infrastructure providers, but unlike any other option on the market, we provide a fully customisable service and a more extensive range of infrastructure products. Our customers get greater flexibility without greater costs as we offer the lowest price guarantee for all our services.

With almost two decades worth of expertise, we offer pre-built or fully customised dedicated servers, as well as enterprise services for designing and deploying complex infrastructure architecture from scratch.

We are your one-stop infrastructure shop

Having seen at first-hand companies’ frustrations at outgrowing their infrastructure partners and being forced to involve multiple suppliers to service their businesses, we did something about it. We offer solutions across the full suite of infrastructure services. We are…

Your procurement service: Choose from our extensive range of servers. Complete your order in just a few clicks.
Your solutions architects: With our Enterprise IaaS application, designing full infrastructure is simple. Just drag and drop.
Your deployment team: Once you’ve made your choice we rack your servers to your specifications.
Your hosting providers: We specialise in dedicated servers, but as part of the iomart Group we can provide any hosting solution you need. From micro VMs to bare metal cloud.
Your security service: We control the protection of our own network in-house and have invested in enterprise DDoS appliances and cyber security services.
Your support team: Our support teams are based at our data centres, with your services, and can provide immediate assistance.

We give our customers the ability to hyperscale – along with friendly, expert service.

There is no service we cannot provide. Contact us to learn more about what we can offer your company.

Join our hundreds of happy customers

It’s not just a supplier customer relationship with RapidSwitch and iomart, it’s a partnership. It’s about working together to serve Multiplay’s customers’ needs, whether that’s a consumer playing one of our games or a big publisher who knows we can deal with their requirements.

With the success of our SAN migration and the ongoing excellent technical support we get, we haven’t looked back.

Our website missingpeople.org.uk is at the heart of The Big Tweet and last year's amazing success put a noticeable strain on the old server. This year we have got the bandwidth and power to deal with the many, many thousands of hits that we expect to the new site thanks to The Sun and numerous celeb supporters. The new design and the powerful hosting behind it will ensure that The Big Tweet is a big success.

The Arab Spring was transformational for us. To deal with the spike in traffic, hosting from RapidSwitch was absolutely critical. Broadcasters like Al Jazeera were relying on us for streaming so it was the only way for us to deliver our service in what was a very, very challenging time.

I was looking for a hosting company that could provide three things: colocation of a server; great value for money; and a south of England location. Rapidswitch offered all of these things, and after researching various other hosting providers, I decided that RapidSwitch offered the best deal.

The on-going support we get from RapidSwitch is excellent and to date we have had no technical issues whatsoever.

It’s the difference between having a clue and not having a clue. The guys at RapidSwitch have a clue!

It’s not just the fast response that we like. One of the other great things about RapidSwitch is the exceptionally fast servers they’ve provisioned for us in their Maidenhead data centre. This means we can maximise our returns from each server, which ultimately benefits our business.

As soon as we met the guys at RapidSwitch we knew that not only could they provide us with the reliable hosting we needed but that they also understood our business and our need for absolute 100% uptime and round-the-clock technical support.

I would recommend Rapidswitch to anybody because their servers are very stable and offer a very good infrastructure for building great webapps on top. Plus, they’re great to deal with.

At the time of looking, RapidSwitch was the only company that could provide us with a high burst rate of bandwidth that was suitable for streaming without holding us to a permanently high level of traffic. It meant we were able to offer live webcasts at a really competitive rate.

Each time the work has been provisioned quickly and efficiently. The RapidSwitch team offers a fast, friendly, straight forward service. I really can’t fault them.
