Umm, so?
I mean, seriously, I'm not trying to be an arse about it or something, but why should the hacker population at large give a damn that "some customers [of MediaTemple] will see interruptions to Web, Mail, and FTP services".
Is it that essential a host? Is everyone here hosting something there? I mean, I'm sure it's a popular host and everything, but should there be a post every time some hosting service gets a bit of a hiccup? If so, we might as well rename this site "Hosting status news".
- charliepark 16y ago(not the op) I don't think posting on HN re: hosts going down is necessary per se, but as a means of keeping tabs on hosting companies, a post like this is helpful. When I was looking for a hosting company a few years back, I went with Media Temple as a hosting company based on the praise given to it by a number of people whose opinions I respected. I had an absolutely terrible time with them, switched over to Linode last Friday, and am thrilled that I no longer have to deal with Media Temple. If I'd seen more critical / dissatisfied posts about them before I signed on with them, I could have saved myself a lot of frustration.
- ubercore 16y agoI think it's interesting that their _entire_ DNS seems to have gone down. Seems like a pretty big failure of architecture, and given the size of prevalence of Media Temple a topic for HN.
