Default Re: UK datacenters?

Donhost (part of pipex) have their own datacenter in Doncaster

"The Bunker" - somewhere in Kent I think...

Manoc - Manchester



Now for London...

The Following are all in the London Docklands area:

Telehouse East
Telehouse North
Tele City Mill Harbour
Tele City Harbour Exchange
Redbus Meridian Gate
Redbus Harbour Exchange
Redbus Sovereign House
Global Switch 1
Global Switch 2
Leapfield House (Legend communications)
The London Hosting Center

Outside Docklands:

Telehouse Metro
Tyco
Level(3)

And a rather strange one that I have just found out about - Havenco have a datacenter on the UK island of "Sealand" ????? Aparantly Sealand is a small island 6 miles of the eastern cost of the UK?

UPDATE: according to the website, "Sealand" is an artificial island built during the war and ..." In the winter of 1966, a British family took possession and commenced the task of equipping and restoring the island. On 2 September 1967, they hoisted their own flag and declared the existence of a new state - the Principality of Sealand."
It also seems that the datacenter is a Haven for file sharers and illegal downloads... (There are no copyright laws on Sealand)

Thanks for the list - much more comprehensive than the one I tried to begin with.

As for Sealand - yes, they've been in the news before about file-swapping.
