(xv) Xserve-Virtual from MediaTemple
If you’ve always seen OS X Leopard Server and drooled, soon you will be able to get it for monthly fee from MediaTemple, which is currently testing their (xv) Xserve-Virtual which like their regular(dv), use Parallels to virtualize the server software.

MediaTemple upgraded their Plesk version for the dedicated virtual servers to all their new (dv) 3.5 users and available as an upgrade to current users by submitting a request ticket. Doesn’t seem like a big update, but hey every time I read this, I click to upgrade:

Irony: Dowmforeveryoneorjustme.com down (for a few minutes)
Since MediaTemple’s Grid Service started suffering outages, I started using downforeveryoneorjustme.com to check my website availability.

I am running on their GridServer (gs) which is a huge upgrade from 1&1 shared hosting. The future of hosting lies in [...]
MediaTemple: Marketing to your customers via Maintenance Update
I got an email from MediaTemple today reminding me that there would be really long downtime on Friday night since they will be upgrading their power redundancies. The cool part was were they referenced rackspace for their recent catastrophe. So basically, if any of MediaTemple customers weren’t aware of the Dallas accident(36 hour downtime), they [...]
