I’ve been using mediatemple.net for about 2 years and am now changing to a new hosting company, hostrocket. The reason to change is that I paid 2yr up front and now the term ended. The service of mediatemple.net was “okay”. Server performance was “okay” to me.
FTP performance on the other hand was “Bad” from where I am somehow. Everytime I upload new folder from local, ftp never refreshes by itself. I had to refresh the remote folder manually. The response time was slow when I used FTP. I don’t know what but I wasn’t impressed with the server performance either. My site basically lagged. Maybe it’s because I’m in east coast and mediatemple.net is in west coast if that makes sense. Who knows.
Anyways I already bought a service plan from hostrocket.com and am uploading all the files and sql data.
I might go offline for few days due to transferring, but will be back as soon as things go well.
I was off and on with (mt) and finally decided on them as they seem to be more better than the ones I tried. May be I haven’t experienced another host better than them yet!
Yeah some people seem to like (mt). I feel that I’m just a unlucky customer. 😕 In the past experience I had better experience with hostrocket that I’m switching to right now.
Also one of forum applications uses mysql 4.0.2 or greater, and (mt) doesn’t have that yet. In my case it’s vbulletin.
