mediatemple (gs) retake - week 4
by ubuntu-geek on May.25, 2007, under Stuff
Well I can only say .. SIGH .. things were really looking up besides the mysql issue last week, but this week seems to be the worse. For the past couple days they seemed to be having network issues related to a DDoS attack causing major timeout issues for the sites I host on the grid platform. (read here for details)
Yesterday their incident page showed the issue as resolved, however today I find I cannot access my sites again for short periods of time and the incident is now showing as “orange” on their incident page.
Is it time to move? Thats the question, some users are already complaining about the downtime this week. I’ll giving them until Monday then I’ll decide what to do.
Here is a pick from the 23rd when it was going to hell over there.

I have had it with mt. We have had about a week of consistency with them over the past 10 months. They diagnosed the suicidal slowness of our site as a mySQL issue and something they would rectify with the SmartPool rollout with would be completed mid may.
This week two sites on our account just turned off (yet two others running to their usual turtle speed). mt promises funky goodness, but can’t even get the basics right (like personally answering a ticket….)
We almost certainly on our way out!
