Pixel Kicks grows from strength to strength with support from ANS.

Challenge 

Pixel Kicks had a number of high-traffic websites which required a reliable server and hosting provider that would promise reliability and top speeds. Unconfident that any of its current providers could meet that demand, the agency turned to ANS.

Solution

In one of its first project, Pixel Kicks launched onedirection.net, which became the most popular unofficial boy band fan site in the world.

Results 

Thanks to ANS’s solutions, the site never slowed, even during traffic peaks as high as 63,000 hits over 24 hours.

Founded six years ago, Pixel Kicks has grown to a team of nine people focused on creating and marketing attractive websites for a large variety of clients.

They initially came to ANS due to its reputation as one of the UK’s best hosting companies – and it has certainly delivered a stellar service. In its infancy, it launched an unofficial One Direction website that became the home for fans to gather all their essential 1D updates. Hosted on a ANS dedicated Linux server, onedirection.net became one of the most popular music fan-sites in the world, attracting one million visitors a month.

Pixel Kicks uses servers from a variety of different hosting providers to host its websites, but owner Chris Buckley knew that its high traffic sites would require a provider which could ensure ultimate resilience, scalability, and speed.

Chris said: “We initially came to ANS due to its reputation as one of the UK’s best hosting companies and it’s certainly delivered a stellar service. Their customer service is also second-to-none. If a business requires a server that can handle high traffic with zero slowdown, 100% guaranteed network uptime and 24/7/365 support, the answer is always ANS.
