Cloud computing mania for hosting

Stefanos Karagos | February 24, 2008

MT started before some years with the Grid. Almost the same time Amazon's S3 and EC2 come up, starting for the on-demand web services, a new era.
And now Rackspace comes with an expensive way [Mosso, even they don't support file access via SSH] to try to compete with an other player: Joyenet which gives free hosting for Facebook applications developers. Personally, after my bad experience with MT's Grid I'm not convinced that except Amazon's services, all the others really works.

Media Temple's Grid problems

Stefanos Karagos | January 13, 2007

Before some months I was excited about MT's new Grid Server.
I was exited because of the idea behind the GS and also for the features that they are included [100GB space, 1TB bandwidth etc...]
Unfortunately Grid Server is suffering from the problems of its "early life" :-(

Bellow you can see the results of monitoring my "server"


51.000 ms is a worldwide record!


Take a look at the buzz of the HTTP response!


The down time of the server is one of the worst I've ever seen!

After all these issues, I have to move my sites to another server/company.
Do you have any suggestion? I'm looking of a dedicated server now...
Your advice, please!
