Where’s the redundant “cloud” we were told was going to save us all? Even Apple’s iTunes streaming servers were down on Friday evening.

Sorry to hear that InMotion isn’t living up to expectations.

What I do know is that they’ve provided some super robust hosting specifically for WordPress for some of our other clients. I like that wpengine has the skillset to help debug WordPress specific issues might come up.

I do have one question though…

Why would you use wpengine instead of their parent host Zerigo?
I never understood why someone would choose a subhost that uses another hosts servers and pay more.

Maybe I missed something.

But thats here. Not in Downtown LA.

“@brandondove Our West Coast center experienced a network issue that resolved approx 4am EST. All sites are again visible to the internet.”

I’m sure these things happen, but I just feel like hosting companies should have backup plans for situations like this.
