November 29, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting and application service provider MediaTemple’s (mediatemple.com) grid hosting service experience significant downtime on Tuesday, according to Internet research firm Netcraft (netcraft.com).
According to Netcraft, MediaTemple provided regular updates on its efforts to stabilize the system, citing bugs in a third-party storage system as the cause for the outages and sluggishness. The performance problems began at 10:00 a.m. pacific time and continued until past 5:00 p.m. for some customers.
GridServer is one of many cluster-based grid hosting services today promising enterprise-level reliability and scalability in an affordable Web hosting plan, says Netcraft. However, on Tuesday, bloggers who were among the early adopters of GridServer discussed their grievances as their sites were slowed by performance problems.
Netcraft reports that GridServer isn’t the only new grid hosting entry to experience performance problems, as Web hosting provider Mosso had a lengthy outage in October, and Amazon’s grid storage offering has experienced degraded performance as well.
