Hosting Change on Phoenix Real Estate Guy

I just flipped the big virtual switch. We’re now hosted with Rackspace Cloud.

The name servers could take a day or so to propagate, so you could be served up from either Media Temple or Rackspace over the weekend. This could produce some wonkyness in regards to comments – if someone gets the MT version and comments, those that get the RS version won’t see them. And vice versa.

It should all be sorted out very soon.

If you see something broken completely, please let me know!

You are currently on the new Rackspace server

Do I sense the need for speed?

Jay-

Did I miss a post about the reason, or did you outgrow your MT hosting or have service issues? Curious because I'm currently with MT.

Jeremy - I was experiencing too many imtermittent downtime issues with Media Temple. Also, twice MT did a "server upgrade" that resulted in my blog becoming non-functional. Both times they claimed it was a problem on my end. When I said, "The blog ran fine, you changed something on your end, and now my blog's broken. And it's my fault?" they responded, "Yeah, that's a weird coincidence isn't it?" Both times I had to restore my database to bring the blog back.

So how are the new servers doing? Seems like when someone says they don't have downtime they really mean they don't have too much downtime... Have seen downtime with all of my tech platforms, just hope it's minimized

So far, so good. Performance seems better, and the few times I needed tech support (for stuff I screwed up in the transfer), the experience was outstanding (a far cry from my previous host).

Agree there is no such thing as 100% uptime...
