Manchester datacenter proxies: dedicated IPv4 addresses

Why do networks host IPs in Manchester?

Manchester is the largest UK interconnection hub outside London, with LINX Manchester and several carrier-neutral buildings in and around the city.

On 19 October 2026, PeeringDB listed 20 colocation facilities within 40 km of central Manchester, run by 13 different operators. The operators with the most buildings in that radius are Equinix (4), ANS Group (3), Melbourne Server Hosting (3) and AtlasEdge (1). The buildings where the most networks are present are Equinix MA1 - Manchester, Williams/Kilburn (109 networks), Equinix MA3 - Manchester, Joule House (52 networks) and Reynolds House, Manchester (40 networks). That ranks Manchester 30th by facility count among the 34 datacenter cities on this site, behind Dublin (21) and ahead of Melbourne (20).

Which internet exchanges are in Manchester?

PeeringDB lists 2 internet exchange points in the Manchester area. The largest by connected networks:

• LINX Manchester: 135 networks, present in 7 facilities
• Equinix Manchester: 20 networks, present in 4 facilities

If the network behind your Manchester IP and your target's network both peer at LINX Manchester, traffic between them can stay in Manchester. The route itself depends on the upstream network that holds the IP; RackProxies does not promise one.

Where will a Manchester datacenter IP geolocate?

RIPE NCC records the network that holds each Manchester datacenter IP; it is a hosting or transit ASN, never a home ISP. Lookup services usually show Manchester or the Manchester, England area, but a database can also list the network's head office or another UK city. Many label such addresses "hosting", which is the truth for a datacenter proxy.

Run the datacenter IP check on a Manchester IP before a long job, with the database your target uses. If Manchester shows as the wrong place for your use, support can replace the IP within the United Kingdom, subject to stock.

What is a Manchester datacenter proxy good for?

Pick Manchester for UK checks that should not come from London, or for targets hosted in the north of England. Teams also rent Manchester IPs as fixed addresses for allowlists and for response-time checks against their own servers. Sites built for consumers may treat a Manchester hosting IP differently from a home connection; that is expected.

How much do Manchester datacenter proxies cost?

RackProxies uses one price list for every city, as of October 2026: $1.29 for one Manchester IP for 30 days, $12.69 for 10 IPs and $59.25 for 100 IPs ($0.59/IP). There is no city surcharge and no per-GB billing; fair use applies. Choose United Kingdom at checkout and ask for Manchester.
