Lately I’ve been thinking about moving the website to a new host (MediaTemple). It’s expensive, but I think it will be worth it in the long run. I’ve been wanting to leave 1and1 for a long time, but back when I setup my web space, they were running a decent package at an extremely cheap price, so I made the switch.

But lately, I’ve been having a lot of problems with 1and1. Every now and then when I make changes to the website, my entire web space will go down (that includes other domains which I own). Its an annoyance nuance thats been driving me crazy for the past two months, and I’m tired of it. MediaTemple hosts quite a bit of big name websites and I have heard nothing but good things from the people who use MediaTemple.

But, like I said, the only caveat I have is the price…yuck.

Logged into Gmail this afternoon and decided to switch on Gmail Offline. Shortly after it started syncing, a link popped up under the status bar saying “Go into Flaky Connection Mode”.

With most software and services you usually see official-sounding terms and it all looks boring, but Google, in typical Google-fashion, thankfully speaks to us in easily understandable terms.

I wish every company would do this.
