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…

Hurray, I finally purchased my very own Grid-Server with MediaTemple. I had heard very good things, so I decided I should check out what all the buzz was about.

So far, I’m very happy, it’s fast, I love the control panel, and the move was relatively easy. Looking forward to some great hosting.

It’s that time again!  I’m switching all my sites to a new server.  Honestly, I’m not particularly overjoyed with my current host, MidPhase.  Not that they were terrible or anything (they responded to support, and they had the features) it’s just a lot of the time my sites were slow, sometimes even unresponsive, and I need them to be fast and reliable.

Therefore, I think I am going to switch to MediaTemple Grid-Server hosting.  It seems like such a better solution instead of a shared server, and it’s pricing is pretty good in comparison. 

I’m really excited to see how it turns out. I should be ordering it sometime this week.
