Ukfast Hosting Ease of Use |
|---|
UKFast has an impressive infrastructure, with four UK-based data centers, which are all ISO 27001 certified and approved by the government to IL4 standards. The centers are Tier III, meaning less than 1.6 hours of downtime per year.
It’s excellent that the data centers are owned by UKFast (this generally means much faster response times to issues) and it’s even better that there is a 100% uptime guarantee, backed by a service level agreement.
Independent reviews cite the speed of the servers as one of the main reasons customers join and stay with UKFast. Digging into the data, I can see that the dedicated servers use SSD (which are ten times faster than HDD) and the company claims that it runs all of the equipment and circuits far below total capacity to ensure it’s not overloaded. The servers are high-performance Dell PowerEdge servers.
The plans come with some security features such as shared Cisco ASA Firewall as standard, plus some optional (paid) extras like backup and restore, 24/7 monitoring (though I think this should be always included), annual security audits, data recovery insurance, and bandwidth insurance.

UKFast was named the U.K.’s best hosting provider in 2017 by Megabuyte, and I can see why. Despite the premium price point and the salesy feel to the customer service, the servers are lightening fast, there’s a focus on customer happiness, and killer uptime guarantees.
