E-junkie is managed by a team of web developers and a Linux guru operating from downtown Tucson, Arizona since 2004. We all have one thing in common - we love e-commerce (among other wonders of the Internet). Come to think of it, we all love math as well.
E-junkie is a distributed application running on CentOS servers in co-lo facility in Tucson. We have RAID drives and offsite backups to ensure high availability of your data.
To put it in simple words, our servers (cornerstone of YOUR online business) are mean and strong machines connected to Internet with a big fat pipe.
Name & Logo
A junkie is a person so dedicated to something that it resembles an addiction. The name "E-junkie" is a contraction of "Electronic Junkie" representing our devotion to modern forms of electronic media and communication. If I was born after iPod was invented, we would have went with iJunkie.
Our logo represents a guarding demon. An ancient concept which in its original form means a spirit which gives insight, inspiration and protection. So, it seemed like a good concept to base our logo on. Oh! and the mean look it has..well we thought it just looks cool :)
History
E-junkie started as a script I wrote for myself when I was selling a $4 software in the year 2003. I did not want to wake up in the middle of the night to check my e-mail and send it out using my dial-up connection. The script worked great and did all my work. Soon, a couple of my friends started using it and I kept modifying the script to suit their needs. It was a fun project to begin with, a labor of love kind of thing.
Things started to get out of hand as a couple of friends told a couple others and soon there were hundreds of people using the system. E-junkie went from a script, to a small site on a shared server, to a distributed application spanning multiple servers. It evolved from one guy's hobby to a full time service managed by a small team of developers who are in love with e-commerce. I am thankful to those who inspired me to build E-junkie and I am thankful to those who use E-junkie. With your support we can keep on improving it every day.
