The Pixelstash team is made up of a mix of people with different techincal backgrounds, who all pull together to make this company work. To be perfectly honest, we love our work. We enjoy working with the equipment, building and configuring servers to work together, and even spending weekends at the datacenters putting it all together. You can be assured that by hosting with us that it means more to us than just the money, our customers are what makes this company what it is, we know this and we value it.

Our hosting servers are located in the Dv2 and The Planet datacenters, with plans to expand to a third datacenter in the summer of 2004. All the servers sit in a climate controlled environment on Cisco powered networks. The datacenter backbones consist of multiple GigE (1000Mbit) connections to Level3, UUnet, Verio, Sprint, AboveNet, Global Crossing, Allegiance, Aleron, and Telia. Routing is powered by a redundant Cisco BGP routing and switching infrastructure with hot spares which allows for equipment failure with no interruption of network service. The servers are connected to the network via 100Mbit switch ports for maximum performance. Both datacenters are protected by UPS battery backup power, and onsite generator power. Fire suppression includes a pre-action dry pipe system, with smoke/fire detectors located throughout the datacenters.

Our servers are Dell Poweredge 650's, 1650's, 1750's, and some custom built machines. We are slowly migrating the custom built servers over to Dell platforms due to the high quality and performance we've had with them. The servers are Linux based and setup for Raid 1 or Raid 5 depending on how each server is configured, the servers are mostly Pentium 4's or Xeons with several Pentium 3's in the mix. We only use high quality parts in our servers to avoid premature failure and possible data loss, saving both us and our customers from any unplanned downtime. We will soon be deploying the new Dell 750's as our new low-end servers since they support SATA, and will give us a slight edge over the 650's performance.

Whether you're just looking for a basic hosting plan or need to colocate multiple servers on a fast connection we can provide you with a quality hosting experience. We monitor all equipment 24/7/365 to make sure everything is functioning at 100% and to easily locate then correct the problems when they arise. Give us a try and let us show you the relaxing and worry free side of web hosting.
