High performance, on-budget hosting for small and medium sized businesses

As the fastest and best hosting provider in the UK, we've developed a range of hosting solutions specifically aimed at small and medium sized businesses. These solutions still deliver our industry leading performance and customer support but are designed to cater for a smaller budget.

UKFast servers deliver the speed and reliability that are the pillars of online success. Faster, more reliable websites provide a sensational customer experience online, resulting in more customers.

Search engines such as Google appreciate a fast website, so hosting with UKFast pushes your site higher in the rankings.
Higher rankings = more customers.

Our small business hosting solutions are designed to provide a scalable platform for server capabilities which grow with you.

Virtual servers - a low cost solution for eco-conscious businesses

This solution uses a fraction of the energy of a dedicated solution - fantastic for reducing costs and the size of your carbon footprint. Unlike shared hosting, virtual servers still act as individual entities and at a high speed. They are easily scalable so they grow as you do.

Dedicated servers - the fastest business hosting solution

Dedicated servers are the quickest and most reliable solution, keeping your website attractive for search engines and visitors. A dedicated server provides a speed unattainable by any other means, so your website constantly operates at its optimum performance. Your customers benefit from a fantastic website experience, you attract more visitors and you're pushed higher in the search engine rankings.

As a UKFast customer, you benefit from:

Operating Systems

Selecting an operating system

UKFast servers run on either Microsoft Windows or Linux operating systems (OS).

Microsoft Windows is a global brand synonymous with high performance and reliability - A Windows OS provides a user friendly and familiar interface, while interacting seamlessly with other Microsoft applications. A Windows OS supports all programming languages, delivering a compatible and reliable hosting platform from which to grow your online business.

Linux provides a cost-effective alternative operating platform to Windows - Linux operating systems provide a non-graphical interface and they run faster than a Windows OS. In addition, as Linux is open source, it doesn't require a licence and is therefore cheaper to run than Windows.
