Problems?
Update: Well, it seems the “Forbidden” error is over (hopefully for good) but my sites still seem a little sluggish. Hopefully they’ll get everything going again like it should be.
Well, as I feared from the beginning from reading other reports from people who chose Grid-hosting from MediaTemple, my sites are intermittedly going up and down and giving an odd “Forbidden” error when I try to access them time to time. This has gone on for about a day or so, and on their Service Status Weblog I am surprised to see that they don’t have a specific notice for my problems, or any that are of “High” status.
I really hope that MediaTemple clears this up soon. To be honest, I like their service when it’s working. But… it seems I might have to move again if this keeps up. At least it’s happening before the end of the 30-days mark to get my money back if I need to…
Sorry to hear about your issues with MT. I work in the hosting business and unfortunately these things do happen. Just luck of draw that you just signed up.
Well, if you want to try something different than MT\’s Grid Servers, you should take a look at GoGrid (http://www.gogrid.com). There are some great features that you might like (deploying servers within minutes, free load balancing, Windows and Linux OS images, etc). Drop me a note and I can get you some money off of an account. I also manage the blog there if you need to contact me that way.
Best,
Michael
Sounds very interesting! It looks a lot different than the type of hosting I’m used to. If I end up moving again I’ll definitely keep GoGrid in mind.
Thanks for the comment!
