Today I woke up to find that every single one of my Rails apps hosted at Media Temple were down and would not restart. I received no notifications whatsoever and am somewhat baffled as to why this is the case.
I am actively coding on one app, but the other two are pretty much unchanged. As such, I don’t believe there’s anything that I’ve done to cause this.
I do have the 64MB container, so I know I’d be pushing the limits if they all were popular. The fact is, I actually have only two of the three up at any given time, so I thought I could squeeze in within that smallish container. Upgrading to the next bigger size is something that I have not wanted to do because I haven’t felt completely comfortable since Day One.
Anyone else have experiences to share with Media Temple? I’m about to pack up my toys and go play somewhere else. I was seduced by the Grid Container concept, but I am about ready to declare that it may not be ready for prime time — and its not like I’m doing much here either!
I highly recommend slice host.
Hey Jonnii,
Actually, I have a slice on reservation. Apparently, they are so popular that they add capacity as they add customers.
They along with railsmachine are my top choices, but railsmachine is much more expensive.

Hi Bill.
Just wanted to drop by and apologize for the issues you had this morning. There’s a public page up now with an explanation in our blog.
Long story short, a segment of containers were made unavailable due to an issue with the underlying management software. We corrected the issue as expediently as possible and were able to restore availability to all affected sites.
If you still have any issues with your container, please email me at arman@mediatemple.net.
Thanks!
