The grid has proved a colossal failure. Search for "media temple latency" or something else along those lines. http://www.newlocalmedia.com/blog/107-host-review-media-temple.html The grid was on triple secret probation with me this year. I had a few good months after getting moved to cluster 6 and using an SQL container, which is expensive and should not be needed for my purposes. Then latency and downtime returned. Enough's enough.

Or connecting 5 minutes to your mailserver is what you would call resolved? I know you will remove this message from here and contact me to offer some 6 months of free hosting, but don't try it. Please. I was hosting my website on MT for I think 6 years, but it is time to close the deal. I was good customer, I paid all my bills, I referred some people to you and what I've got in return? An unreliable service with more troubles and issues than Soviet spaceship? No thanks. I need my emails to work, I need my website to work or otherwise it is a waste of money and you wasted a lot of my money.

Once the nameservers took effect and I got my wp-config.php file uploaded (I was having some issues with a 66MB SQL file), my site was running perfectly. I just gotta set up Mint and that is it. ^_^;; I just moved off of MediaTemple to A Small Orange and talk about an instant speed increase.

Sounds more like improperly managed resource allocation. Thier grid service is weak. the databases are always getting the “bad neighbor effect” as they put it.
