All the 3 years spent on the DV 'EXTREME' version at MEDIATEMPLE (so supposedly the top of their virtual servers...) I had thousands of downtime, slow processing, solr issues etc. I have lost tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of dollars on loss of business + cost of maintenance with my developers trying to find out what was wrong with our scripts or with our CMS etc. Of course support @ Mediatemple always said it was our scripts and never the server. But now that we are with a new host, we find out that there is no problem. The load/resources issues were with THEM! One simple advise: DON'T GO WITH MEDIATEMPLE if you are a sane person I’ve been a week now with Rackspace Cloud after being 3 (miserable) years with Mediatemple, and the speed is now UN-BE-LI-VEABLE!
