CWCS: Nottingham

Nottingham” (as referenced on cwcs.co.uk) corresponds to CWCS Managed Hosting’s Nottingham-area colocation/data centre offering. CWCS publishes a dedicated “Colocation Nottingham” page describing a Tier 3–aligned facility with high-density racks, A+B power, and a stated design PUE of 1.15, but the operator page does not publish a full facility datasheet with a confirmed street address, MW capacity, or audited certificate IDs/scope.

A third-party interconnection directory (PeeringDB) publishes a facility record titled “CWCS DCN1” in Nottinghamshire, listing the location as Portland Street, Beeston, Nottingham, NG9 2LP and showing a single network present (CWCS ASN).

Independent reporting and third-party listings additionally associate CWCS’s newer Nottingham facility with 3 Padge Road, Beeston (with varying postcode strings across sources), but CWCS’s official Nottingham colocation page does not itself confirm that street address for the data centre.
