Inside Iron Mountain Slough: where the VPS lives

The Multicore Dropcatch VPS is hosted inside Iron Mountain in Slough, a location chosen for one reason above all: it sits roughly 3ms round-trip from the Nominet backend.

That proximity is not incidental. Nominet's infrastructure is reached over the EPP process, and the physical and network distance between your catching node and the registry directly determines how quickly your create commands arrive. Slough is close, and Iron Mountain is a serious carrier-grade facility, so the path to Nominet is both short and reliable.

This is why the VPS is described as tried and tested specifically for dropcatching — the venue itself is part of the product. General-purpose hosting elsewhere in the country simply cannot match that ~3ms edge on a contested drop.
