DISQUS

Colin Devroe: 9rules downtime

  • joshua · 3 years ago
    So much for using the trendy host.

    MT could not handle all the gradients and wet-floor logos.

    Joshua: I don't believe it is the fault of (mt) nor DH. I think this is something definitely out of their control.

    Yea this is just one of those things you can't control at all. And MT calling you is just awesome. What a service.

    I'm so glad that it isn't just me this time that's down. But, I thought we were over all the power problems in CA. Oh well.
    Thanks for the heads up.

    are mediatemple and dreamhost connected?
  • Kyle Korleski · 3 years ago
    It's not too unlikely that 9rules uses a data centre/telecom carrier hotel like 151 Front Street or Harbour Centre.
  • Kyle Korleski · 3 years ago
    Er, I meant MediaTemple.

    Yep, took the advice of stepping away from the net for the evening. Nice break and all was well in the morning. My stuff was down as on MT too - but I am happy also as they responded quickly and did what could with a happy nature about it.
  • Colin D. Devroe · 3 years ago
    Karmatosed: Yeah - always good to get the heck off this thing now and then.

    Hmm, i wanted to sign at media temple this month, as i read some good testimonials about them, but now...

    I was in that area last week and there was not any outages in the offices where I had meetings. Then I went to One Wilshire and they were not down either.

    This host was the biggest mistake in my life. They have not taken any responsibility with bugs in their Plesk system and email not coming to me (i.e. 24,000+ that got trapped in their servers) but are good at crisis PR.

    I am bummed because I was hoping they would be hassle free and I like Plesk. Now I need to find another California based host due to legal reasons and my clients who demand I move due to this outage on a Friday during business hours. The weekend would be tolerated but there is no excuse to me.
