   Yes, what a disaster. I’m another sucker that jumped on board. Constant problems for the past month. Now the CP is out, although they’re posting updates about http outages every 30 mins or so. More problems with the BlueArc. https://ac.mediatemple.net/incident/detail.mt?key=WdvU5Xdp1f

   Whatever. I can’t do this to my clients. Planning on moving to a DV server on myriadnetwork.

   Mine too. I’m not really psychologically ready to start looking for a new hosting provider yet, but may have to. Yay.

   Goody. I’m giving them to the end of the week. I’ve begun taking pills to get psychologically ready

   Hi all,

   I’m using a DNS provider for my domain name and email. This one never sucked so far. I CNAME my domain to mediatemple at the moment, so whenever there is a downtime, I simply change the CNAME to a backup host. Happens within 5 minutes. And no impact on email.

   If you guys are looking for new web hosts you might want to look over at www.webhostingtalk.com as I believe it is about that time for people.

   My take on the Media Temple situation:

   Yes it’s time for us lab rats to look for something else. I can’t take it to see my sites down every day on (gs) servers. I talk to customer service supervisor “Andrew” two times and he said “there is no guaranty that in next few months we will have a stable hosting”. 1-2 days having a problems I think I could live, but 6 weeks is disaster. I was hoping that they will get on track, but they are not even close. So if you consider waiting and hoping each day that its not gonna happen again I will wish you a happy new year
   I’m moving out from mediatemple hosting. I’m not a lab rat I am a customer who needs a hosting. What is ironic that they have this new title on the home page “The last hosting plan you’ll ever need.” I think its true I will never going to need mediatemple service again. Dammit they are so right! I should notice this before.

   I tried to read your post earlier today and got this error:

   Error establishing a database connection

   This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at internal-db.s1352.gridserver.com. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

   Ironic?

   Arggghhhh! Very ironic.

   Well, you can take my word for it that the user/pswd info in wp-config is correct - and if fact has not changed recently. Which means, of course, that the db server on the grid that is handling my insignificant little corner of cyberspace is being bitchy again.

   Which means, yes, that MT gridserver has very definite and persistent issues.
