Bumped. ∗
Friday 13 June, 2008
Media Temple have just incremented some versions on their (dv) product line. Notably PHP5 has been upgraded to 5.2.6 (current stable release) which is a welcome improvement and Plesk has jumped a version to 8.4.0.
Both shipped during May, thus it forms a very proactive and on-the-ball choice — be sure to check out Media Temple’s release above for all the geek-worthy details, there is a lot of improvement (in Plesk particularly) overall and as such it represents a worthy return for the short upgrade period.
I also have the (slightly dubious, yet intensely pleasing) distinction of being the first cab off the rank to have an existing (dv) upgraded — oh yes, here at the The Lab we bravely risk it all1 so you don’t have to.
The process was slick and entirely painless.
As a result, it would be remiss of me not to thank the wonderful folks at (mt) — for building such great systems — and in particular Daniel Greene who drew the short straw to place their bets on the upgrade-user-plus-all-their-shit-and-pray roulette wheel. Nice work brother.
Since rolling from the grid to dedicated-virtual, I cannot stress strongly enough the level of commitment and professional support Media Temple have brought to the table. Nothing is ever too much trouble, no issue is ever left un-answered. If you are in the market, they are the go-to guys for virtual hosting. If you decide to take the plunge, help a brother out and tell them I sent you.
New orders will see the above improvements from day one, if you’re already a (dv) playa, maximum respect yo — submit a support request — profit.
1 ok, so I do have multiple-redundant stored copies of all SQL databases and full data backups. I’m crazy, not stupid.
