We are ANS (formerly UKFast). We’re a strong team of over 750 straight-talking tech and business experts. Our mission is to make digital transformation accessible to all.

We make enterprise-grade technology, knowledge and processes accessible and affordable for all companies, large or small, no matter the size of their budget. We hack the tech adoption curve, bringing technology usually reserved for large corporates first, to small and medium organisations too. We’re on a mission to help companies Think Bigger.

We’re trusted by our customers because we help them achieve their goals. Be it a digital transformation project for a 2000-person government body or helping a 10-person labels maker take their business online.

Our people are the lifeblood of our business. They dream up solutions that have never been delivered before. They dare to tackle problems no one else can. Every day they wake up and challenge the status quo. It’s no wonder we’ve been hailed the mavericks of the tech industry.

We offer colocation across 5 datacentres in Manchester, UK.

10U quarter-racks, 20U half-racks, 45U full racks and larger cages available, on both a retail and wholesale basis. Carrier-neutral and A+B power as standard.
