Why should I choose Intrascape?

  • We do not rely on any single supplier for our network connectivity . We run an ‘autonomous’ network which means we are in control over how our routes are announced to the Internet.
  • Our network is designed and maintained for performance and quality which are our priority. We provide hosting to companies specialising in network metrics/monitoring and VoIP, applications which are very sensitive to latency, jitter, packet loss and speed variations.
  • We have been providing hosting services since 1998 and have run our own autonomous network for over 17 years. You can rest assured we are financially sound and technically competent. We still have many customers who signed up over ten years ago!
  • Our network is based on a resilient multi-homed IP Transit mix from multiple providers, including  MFN Abovenet, Level 3, Lonap and LINX  so we can interconnect directly with most of the UK network operators . This helps us to get the fastest and most reliable connectivity to key broadband networks and hosting companies, and when problems do arise, we can liaise directly with network engineers of the relevant networks.
  • We use the best quality international transit providers and our routing policies ensure we pick the optimal path. We have diverse links at 1Gbps or faster to tier-1 providers in multiple sites.
  • We have direct relationships with co-location facilities, with no third parties involved. This protects us from failure of intermediate suppliers.
  • We are a Local Internet Registry within the RIPE region, so we can assign IP space directly to clients from our aggregate block, so it shows up being registered to you.
