Data Center Move Goes Awry for TypePad

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sloooow-responses dept.

miller60 writes "Problems during a switchover between data centers have slowed TypePad, the popular blog hosting service. Typepad maxed out its data center space and all available power at Internap, and is in the process of moving to a new data center. The transition has not gone smoothly, causing the Typepad service to slow to a crawl amid very public complaints by its blogger customers. TypePad operator Six Apart promises things will improve soon."

    I don't know why, but I do. I hate them the way I hate Gwyneth Paltrow and that Coldplay guy. They think they're smart and cool and just as cute as shiny widdle buttons, but they're not.

    And how is he supposed to stop you? Gun force? This is a free world and you are free to buy your services where you want. There is really nothing, the old operator can do against this. So stop talking bullshit.
