Layer6 is an independent hosting provider based in the UK. We reject the complexity of public clouds in favor of privacy, simplicity, and direct human support.
You shouldn't need a DevOps engineer to run a business. We take ownership of the infrastructure so you can focus on your product.
Forget shared hosting. We run your site on dedicated resources optimised for speed and SEO.
Need to run Nextcloud, Ghost, or a private Docker container? If it runs on Linux, we can host it.
Includes server, management, and backups.
Compatible with the S3 API you already know. Built on ZFS for data integrity. No complex tiers, no retrieval fees.
Works with Rclone, AWS CLI, Duplicati, and generic S3 libraries.
Single-tenant buckets. Server-side encryption enabled. Traffic isolated via WireGuard ingress.
£8/TB. No "Requests per 1,000" fees. No egress fees (fair use).

Big clouds hide behind automated bots and forums. When you host with Layer6, you get a direct line to the engineer running your infrastructure. I handle the updates, backups, and security so you can focus on writing and selling.
