About UKFast

Get Flash to see this player.

Founded in 1999 by Lawrence Jones and his wife Gail, UKFast is now a major player in the UK internet hosting arena. The husband and wife team set up the company after experiencing poor hosting services themselves when trying to run an online art gallery website. They believed that they could do better, so they did.

UKFast's focus from the start has been to deliver high quality hosting solutions with a particular focus on customer service excellence. This has set UKFast apart from its rivals and enabled the company to dramatically grow turnover year on year every year.

In 2008 we have over 60 staff, working in all areas of internet provision, including sales, technical support, design and copywriting. The business is expanding rapidly through both organic growth and acquisitions and it continues to be privately owned and profitable, as it has been from the start.

Financially secure business

In 2007, UKFast increased turnover to £4.2m to deliver an impressive £1.45m pre-tax profit. The company remains cash rich and is in an excellent financial position going forward.

What makes UKFast different from other web hosting and dedicated server providers?

Network excellence. Our bandwidth is uncontested and aggregated, guaranteeing 24x7 connectivity. Coupled with the most sophisticated network in the UK, our bandwidth is dramatically faster than competing ISP's meaning our customers get a competitive edge.

A technology firm that focuses on people. Our business is servers and we deliver industry leading technology. However, our focus is our clients and providing the optimum support for their individual needs. And this is why we are...

Multi award-winning. UKFast has been named the ISPA's 'Best Hosting Provider' for the last four years straight. Furthermore, the company consistently ranks as one of the UK's fastest bandwidth providers, officially rated by industry monitor Webperf (we are listed by our server name, GraphiteRack).

An environmental commitment. We are leading the way in green initiatives with Ecoservers. The new technology is an affordable and scalable hosting solution and because they use less energy, Ecoservers cost less to power. It's great for businesses who cannot afford to sacrifice performance online and need eco-friendly business options.

Extending sponsorships to clients

UKFast is a committed supporter of its local community. The company is proud to sponsor sporting organisations Sale Sharks and Airwaves-Ducati, both of which embody UKFast's dedication to excellence. UKFast is also heavily involved in local charity activities, including supporting Factor 50 and Christie's Hospital.
