Folk, blues, jazz and rock musicians from the Woodstock area and beyond are being invited to participate in a 40th anniversary live concert.

Media Temple Gives You What You Pay For

May 5th, 2009

For $20 a month, why anyone expects different I’ll never know. But now for the second time in as many months, Media Temple has completely crapped out. I’m fortunate not to have any eggs in their basket, but have a client who’s hosted there.

mt Media Temple » Weblog » #754 gs Grid-Service Cluster.02 Web availability.

Their last big outage in March was 36+ hours for many customers. This outage now going on well over 12 hours. Sites don’t load and return 403 errors.

I wonder how many more of these outages MT can have before there’s no customers left.

Update : Going on 24 hours, my client’s sites are still down. We’re migrating them as fast as possible, and he’ll learn from this and ditch Media Temple like a hot stinky potato.
