From Oct 1st (China’s National Day) to now, MediaTemple have made me very disappointing. I called them about on the night of Oct 2nd. Because I found that I couldn’t visit my site. First I thought it’s the problems of GFW. When I used the ultra, the problem existing, too.

I called them twice. The first time, the system reminded me that I will wait for about 40 minutes, because I was in the queue 22. Wow, it’s amazing. I hung up the skype.

About a quarter later, I called them again, only wait for 1 minutes, a guy answered me. He said they had found the problem and will solute it in one hour. I repeated: Only one hour? He answered, yes.

Then one day passed. The problem was still existing.

They had posted the problems on their blog.

From then to now, the hosting was not stable.

I have chosen the MediaTemple, because it’s very fast, even I’m in China. Many friends choose the Dreamhost, the first year is very cheap. But when I am choosing the hosting, the speed of Dreamhost is lower than MediaTemple’s. So I bought it. But I am so disappointing now. You can test the speed, the speed of MediaTemple is lower than Dreamhost’s now.

I found an interesting thing. All the problems happened in the Grid-Service. It’s the cheapest hosting in MediaTemple. But it’s more expensive than other hosting, such as Bluehost’s, Dreamhost’s, 1and1′s, Godaddy’s, etc.

I pray that MediaTemple don’t have latency any more. blessing…..
