Nutty About Hosting - Because We Care

Where we host your website

Rather than hide where your website lives, we like to be open about it. Your site and your data sit across resilient UK datacentres and enterprise cloud infrastructure, chosen for the right balance of reliability, speed and redundancy - and looked after around the clock.

All the facilities we use are staffed 24/7 by skilled, qualified engineers. Servers and networks are monitored 24/7, and physical access is tightly controlled.

Our UK datacentres

We host across more than one UK location so a problem in one place never has to mean downtime for you.

Manchester

Our primary datacentres sit in Manchester, giving excellent connectivity to the internet backbone without London prices. Purpose-built and secured from the ground up, they are equipped with the latest kit, regularly maintained and tested.

Maidenhead

We also run servers from a datacentre in Maidenhead, in the Thames Valley. A second UK location adds geographic resilience and keeps your services close to the south-east's major network hubs.

Cloud hosting

A resilient cloud platform

Our Cloud hosting runs on an enterprise-grade platform spread across multiple resilient UK and European datacentres. It's built for resilience, with redundancy built in at every layer and the headroom to scale the moment your site needs it.

You get the reliability of serious infrastructure with the friendly, developer-led UK support we're known for.

  • Multiple resilient UK and European datacentres
  • Redundant power, network and storage
  • Scales on demand as your traffic grows
  • UK-based, with all data kept in the UK and EU

Global DNS on Google Cloud

When someone types your domain, the answer needs to come back instantly from anywhere in the world. That's why our DNS runs on Google Cloud Platform. Our nameservers - ns1 through ns4.nah.zone - are served from Google's global network, so lookups for your domain are answered quickly and reliably wherever your visitors are.

It means faster first connections for your website and email, and DNS that stays up even if an individual location has a bad day.

Your nameservers

  • ns1.nah.zone
  • ns2.nah.zone
  • ns3.nah.zone
  • ns4.nah.zone

Where we're heading

Room to grow, including Microsoft Azure

We're always investing in our platform. Alongside our own datacentres and cloud, we're extending onto Microsoft Azure for future services - giving us even more scale and choice as we build what's next for our customers.
