PioneerX Estates – Suspends Trading

After over 18months of being a major force in the OpenSim hosting arena PXE is unfortunately suspending operations.

The PXE philosophy has always been to provide OpenSim hosting in as simple a form as possible while maintaining it’s pricing within reach of almost everyone. This was made possible by the personal investment by its founder into state of the art infrastructure, custom software solutions and virtualisation of the basic region servers.

Unfortunately while the PXE infrastructure has remained solid the OpenSimulator server software itself has started to consume larger and larger amounts of server resources. In light of this the virtualisation platform used to keep the ‘Customer (Region)’ servers at a reasonable price is no longer a viable option. This problem leaves us with only one way to go with the customer servers and that is to run dedicated machines. As the cost of dedicated machines makes PXE packages beyond the reach of most people especially given the current economical climate we have decided the best course of action is to suspend our platform until such time when we can offer products are ‘affordable’ prices again.

This is a suspension of services and not a complete close down of the PioneerX Estates company. As such we will be keeping our infrastructure in place and not selling off these server machines.

Thanks for all your custom and support over the last 18 months. We will continue to be a part of the OpenSim community but will not actively offer hosting at this time.

Kind Regards

James Beejay
