Our data centre near Bournemouth, in Poole, Dorset, is owned and operated by Web Wiz. We purpose built it in 2018 to be energy efficient, with onsite solar power, battery storage and free air cooling.
We built it with three main goals in mind: being eco-friendly, over-engineered, and robust. Investing in energy-efficient infrastructure lets us offer hosting that is both reliable and sustainable.
