Server & Switch Hosting
IX Liverpool has established its own neutral (self-built) small data centre that sits on long leasehold land in the Sandhills area of Liverpool. Members can supply a switch or single board computer (Raspberry Pi, Arduino) or other small server to be hosted inside the Internet Exchange.
Our data centre is designed to help startup networks such as Micro ISP’s, Altnets, game developers, sensing companies, 5G trials etc get started and get off the ground with low cost hosting, without the typical data centre commitments. The space is operated on a not for profit basis and charges only to cover it’s costs for the resources consumed by members. It has 16A of power, UPS, generator backup and 24/7 access.
Members will receive a free peering LAN IP address from our 185.1.71.0/24 range for use with our AS number (AS202944). If they need external connectivity they can reach out to the various members for such services directly.
The space is Ideal for small website hosting, tunnel endpoints, DNS servers, Mail Servers or any other medium duty applications and starts from just £25 per month that includes 2U of space, power, cooling and 100Mbps synchronous bandwidth and static IP addresses.
Please contact us if you would like to host services within our data centre.
For members requiring larger space and power, they should contact our data centre partners – Liverpool City Region Data Centres or MICT.
