What KINETIC INTERNET LIMITED does

Kinetic Internet Limited is a UK-based IT services provider founded in 2002 and headquartered at Lodge Park, Langham, Colchester, Essex. The company delivers telecommunications, hosting, and IT support services exclusively to small and medium-sized businesses, offering hosted VoIP telephony, SoGEA and FTTP broadband, leased lines, shared and dedicated web hosting, online backup, and pay-as-you-go PC support. It also offers bespoke web-based database development and is a registered Nominet member for .co.uk and .org.uk domain registration. Server infrastructure is operated across the UK, USA, France, and Canada, and a residential sub-brand, Kinetic Telecom (ktel.co.uk), extends telephony and broadband to consumers via the OFNL network.

The technology stack is centred on web-based database and hosting platforms. Custom databases are built using web technologies that can be hosted in data centres or on customer premises, accessible from any device with a browser, and designed to integrate directly with websites, telephone systems, and accounting software. The product portfolio includes hosted VoIP from £12 per user per month, shared hosting from £49.95 per year (Starter/Bronze/Silver tiers) and E-commerce hosting from £30 per month, managed dedicated servers from £145 per month, online backup from £10 per month, and PC support billed at £50 per hour. The company advertises 24/7 server monitoring with a 15-minute technician response, and stated service levels of 98% of telephone requests completed within 24 hours and 98% of email requests processed within 4 hours.

Kinetic Internet operates a direct-sales go-to-market motion via phone, email, and website enquiry, with on-site support concentrated in the Essex area and out-of-hours support available on request. Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription recurring contracts (telecoms, hosting, backup, domains, SSL) and professional services (database development, PC support, networking). The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or acquisitions, and the founders/owners operate the business from a single registered office.
