In April 2007, I transfered Meandering Passage to Media Temple (MT) based upon the promise of their Grid Service (GS) hosting solution…scaleable and able to spread a load across a wide array of servers and disk units to give reliable hosting. What I’ve experienced with Media Temple and t...

It may not have been the largest free blogging platform available, but for anyone who used JournalSpace for their blog the events of the last week were catastrophically significant. Three days ago, JournalSpace lost all of its data. Yes, all of it. The hardware itself was intact, which means that ei...

As dusk turned into dawn, the situation grew more and more bleak. With the storage failure becoming increasingly ser...

Back in December I posted this feedback article, wanting to know just how much traffic warranted a jump to a dedicated server. Actually, I was just chomping at the bit to put my site on a new box after browsing inexpensive dedicated servers, and I had become tired of excessive resource usage shutdow...

In Google! Clean Up Blogger! Now!, I wrote about how a simple search for a news story turned into a massive multi-page hunt through Google search results of Blogger Blogspot spam blogs, finally finding a possible legitimate blog answer on something like page five but having to go through even more p...

[fr] Une amie Serbe s'est vu poser un ultimatum par son hébergeur de blogs: 24 heures pour supprimer commentaires d'un autre blogueur et liens vers ses sites, ou voir son blog disparaître. L'hébergeur en question (qui utilise WordPress multi-utilisateurs, comme WordPress.com) avait en outre désa...
