Why location matters for dropcatching

Dropcatching is won and lost in milliseconds. Sitting ~3ms from the Nominet backend at Iron Mountain Slough means your EPP create commands reach Nominet faster than from general-purpose hosting — a decisive edge on contested names.

The low round-trip time is the single biggest factor in winning competitive drops, which is why this server is positioned specifically at Iron Mountain Slough rather than in a generic data centre. Combined with the multi-core spec running many parallel non-blocking EPP sockets, it gives your catching engine the best possible starting position.
