Manchester Rackspace

We offer a choice of rack space in our two Manchester-based data facilities. We offer quarter (11U), half (22U) and full (48U) lockable racks. You get 24/7 unaccompanied access passes for the rack.

Each rack is lockable with a unique code combination lock for your security.

Unlike some providers, who are simply resellers of space in others' datacentres, our two datacentres are operated and managed by us.

We supply electricity, air conditioning, fire suppression, backup power supply, multi-level security and an internet connection.

Our Manchester colocation presents a viable alternative to London colocation, for northern based businesses and individuals this can make life a lot easier if you ever need access to your server(s).

We offer a range of additional features to which you can subscribe, these include firewalling, remote reboot ports, additional IP addresses, NAS space for backups, and server management.

Contract Length
Our standard contact length for quarter and full racks is 12 Months.  During this period your rental price will be fixed.  We can agree longer or shorter contracts upon request.

Technical Support
As standard you will receive free telephone support during office hours, and emergency support out-of-hours.  This includes testing connectivity to your machine etc.  We offer a 'helping hands' service on a best-endeavours basis during office hours.

Where an engineer needs to visit your server to investigate hardware/software failure on your machine(s), or accompany you to the datacentre to investigate or replace faulty hardware/software on your machine(s), the following rates apply:

Office Hours: (9am - 5pm Monday - Friday)
£35.00 per 30 minutes

Out of Office Hours:
£75.00 per 30 minutes.

We guarantee to have an engineer at your server within one hour. 

To book an on-site visit, please call our freephone number or e-mail us during office hours.  If your request is more urgent, call our emergency 24/7 number (which you will receive in your welcome pack).

We also offer monthly 'retainer' style support contracts, where you pay a flat fee rather than paying the above listed support rates, starting from as little as £25 per month.

For details of pricing of additional services/extras please see our addons page.
