A few moments ago all my databases were down on all of my sites. I checked MT's status page and sure enough they were looking into some "database connectivity" troubles. This is the second time in a month that they've let me down like this. What happened to their reliability?
What hosts are you guys using? And for Ruby on Rails?

DreamHost? You've got to be kidding me. I quit their service years ago. So unreliable!! They were rated an F by the Better Business Bureau for absolute suckage. Yea they're cheap. But with DH you get what you pay for.

I've been using http://www.huevia.com/ for a long time. No RoR support yet but everything else is great.

A few years ago I got totally spammed up by some troll and Media Temple was not very helpful in cleaning up my email. Since then my Metagramme mail routes directly to gmail. Haven't had any other troubles, though.

there really is no good hosting service buy your own servers and host yourself

My site just went down as well. Same thing - massive database error. I find MT's throughput a little better than Dreamhost.
Annoying for now, but I don't think my experience with MT has been as bad as some people.

Stewdio,
Nice blog, what you do to get that blog?
- amullins0
hostmysite.com for shared
slicehost.com for vps
mosso.com for cloud (quick cdn setup with limelight)
aws.amazon.com for backup and testing

the truth is that mt's gridserver is indeed quite unreliable, however i will once again defend their dedicated virtual server, which totally owns any hosting i've ever had elsewhere. so blazing fast and rock solid.
