Shiny Metal has 11 years experience in deploying and maintaining large-scale web applications, hosting environments, and custom servers.
Contact us and let's discuss your needs.Our custom System Administration service offers you a dedicated Shiny Metal sysadmin who gives you a portion of their time as if they were a member of your own staff. They get to know you, your application, and the rhythm of your business.
This offering meets the needs of companies with too few servers to justify hiring a full-time system administrator. You’ll receive all the benefits of having someone on staff full-time at a fraction of the cost.
Our administrators have extensive experience in deploying and maintaining high-traffic, high-availability web servers on Linux and BSD with Apache, Lighttpd, Nginx and running Ruby on Rails, Python, and PHP applications, database servers running MySQL and PostgreSQL, mail servers with Postfix, and extensive spam filtering.
Our virtual private servers meet the needs of our customers and their developers who want to run sites on really awesome servers without the budget required for a dedicated server infrastructure and the highly-trained staff to run it. We're hardware and software snobs, and you gain the benefit of our neurosis.
Shiny Metal virtual private servers run on IBM and Sun Microsystems servers powered by AMD Opteron processors. We run open source operating systems such as Debian Linux, OpenBSD and OpenSolaris.
