About

Packhead Hosting was founded by Steven "Packhead" Sumichrast after he grew tired of dealing with shady virtual private server (VPS) and shared hosting providers. Impersonal service and a consistent feeling of being forced to "fit the company mold" impeded the already difficult search for the perfect host. Fed up, in 2009, Steven purchased state-of-the-art hardware, including the latest brand of Intel Xeon processors. With time, determination, and a search for a datacenter as unique as him, Steven attained his dream and Packhead Hosting was born.

Here at Packhead Hosting we believe the customer truly comes first. When you contact us for support or sales, you will receive the time and attention you deserve. It's the right thing to do for you, our customers.


Datacenter / Network

Packhead Hosting's servers operate right outside of downtown Chicago, in the state-of-the-art Continuum datacenter. For it's clients, Continuum provides N+1 redundant heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC,) in addition to continuous back-up power systems. Continuum's facility is staffed twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, all year long.

Packhead Hosting uses a redundant network through a blended BGP connection, provided by the services of Internap, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Level 3 and many more. The point of presence is located in the Major Carrier Hotel, on 350 Cermark, in downtown Chicago. Our network provides our customers with a top-notch connection, with low-latency and high-bandwidth transport, for whatever their needs may be.

No matter what service a customer may choose, or for what purpose, they will always be provided with a safe environment for their data, and access to a high-speed and readily available connection. Be it an online presence, a game server or even a commercial website, Packhead Hosting will meet the challenge. Our datacenter, Continuum, prides itself on personal interaction with their customers, and we feel this practice should be continued in our work as well. We vow to make you, our customer, come first.
