They resell RS servers, marking them up 150%. Still, not a bad deal. :)

Maybe, they resell services from 3 places? Their network page is definately not rackshacks. ( Cisco powered? Rackshack uses Juniper M5 and M10s. )

Hi everybody,

Rather than let you guys go crazy with speculation, I can answer the questions that you're all dying to know :D

Yes, I do work for PI Host. I also enjoy reading WHT a great deal and I'll be glad to answer any addition questions you guys might have, although I don't generally post here much.

Facilities:
1. Los Angeles - we own this one. It is primarily Cogent bandwidth, geared for high bandwidth / low cost co-location solutions. We do not currently have dedicated servers out of this location, although we may in the future.

2. Houston - Owned by EV1/RS. We resell RS white box servers, but we provide server "management" for them. So, they are not just marked up RS servers: They are managed servers. We provide 1 hour of systems admin per month with each server.

3. Baltimore - Owned by Affinity. We lease space there, primarily for shared hosting accounts.

4. Irvine - Owned by XO. We lease space there, primarily for shared hosting accounts.

Well, there you have it. Facilities in a nutshell.
