Anymore downtime? Would you recommend moving production web applications to GoGrid at this point? Thanks - Trent Hi Jonathan,

I just wanted to check back in and see how GoGrid is working out for you. Anymore downtime? Would you recommend moving production web applications to GoGrid at this point?

Thanks - Trent

I did signup for their pay as you go. It looks impressive. I will tread lightly for now as I run a web design / hosting company and cannot afford any downtime. Sometime ago I looked at MOSSO hosting but they had way too many problems with their system. I think the grid is a great concept but I'm not confident that all the kinks have been worked out.

Luckily, each time only one of my load-balanced machines when down so the site stayed up, but it was definitely scary. For 4 hours of downtime I received 400 CPU-hour credits based on their SLA. I talked to their support people (who are super friendly and knowledgeable) and they explained that they were hitting some hardware limit on the networks in their grid. I guess the bottom-line is that they are definitely still Beta, and with lots of people signing up, they are not going to be as stable right now as a traditional colocation host. However, they are run by ServePath, a pretty big hosting company, so I hope they iron out the kinks soon. They have a big Grid software release coming near the end of April which will unlock a lot of cool features too ;) So definitely try out their pay-as-you-go plan and see what they're about. But if you need guaranteed uptime, you'll probably want to wait until they are out of Beta. @Trent: In 2 weeks I’ve been with GoGrid, I’ve had downtime 3 times on 2 of my servers.

Have you had any down time so far? Any complaints about goGrid? Thanks - Trent Jonathan,
