Hosting Change on Phoenix Real Estate Guy

 Pin It
by on September 19, 2009

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

I'm a real estate broker in Phoenix, Arizona and the publisher of the Phoenix Real Estate Guy blog. I tend to drive too fast and scream at the University of Texas and Denver Broncos football teams. My two kids are smarter than most adults I know and my wife is simply amazing.

Comments

We always appreciate your comments! Phoenix Real Estate Guy uses two commenting systems, Facebook and LiveFyre. LiveFyre is the most robust system (and easy to use!). It allows you to login with Twitter, Facebook, Google+ LinkedIn, OpenId, LiveFyre and as a "Guest". I recommend getting a LiveFyre account, it has some great features (just click the LiveFyre button when you write your comment).

 

BLOG COMMENT POLICY: We respectfully ask that you use your real name (first name only is fine) and not use keywords (Why no keywords?). The only real "comment rules" are be civil -- no personal attacks -- and no advertising. (See the full comment policy here). Opinion and debate are welcome, but attack the idea, not the person.

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

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.

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.

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...
