“brief” downtime and “several hours several times a month” don’t quite jive.
GridServer blows. The only thing it has going for it is PRICE… but their other products are rather over-priced in my opinion. Instead we’ve started doing VPS’s on SliceHost and have been MUCH happier…
My biggest issue with them is that they PRETEND it’s all A-OK when things are really more like “in a shit storm” - I told their sales people “look, if the GridServer isn’t enough for us, tell me what product we SHOULD be using” and they didn’t really have much of an answer - their tongues were tied because they couldn’t admit how BAD the GS really was in order to upsell their own, supposedly (probably?) better services.
