It’s getting close to a month of this site living on it’s new, improved?, or at least hopefully improved home on the servers at (mt). As always there are some good things to be said and some really big annoyances that need to be solved soon for this service to be considered acceptable even by my current for personal use standards. The big pro’s were super easy activation, a very pretty and simple to use control panel, the amount of separation that is given between the various domains and subdomains and just about everything else really. It would probably be a lot easier to say that the service is good with the exception of and that’s where the story really begins.

MySQL - is slow and sometimes entirely fails to respond causing any database driven sites to totally not work. Granted (mt) have admitted that there is a problem and they’re working on it, I just wish they worked on it faster and/or with better results.

Database User(s) - yep, that’s right, for now you only have one. This is great and all if you manage all of the sites on the account, but somehow I’m hesitant to just leave my MySQL credentials in others configuration files, even if I do sort of kinda know them mostly.

I’ll stick with it for now, for another month at least as I don’t have any critical uptime demands for now. But if it doesn’t clear up by then I’m definitely looking for some new hosting. It’s been a fun adventure between all the hosts I’ve used so far and I actually have to say that I’ve really never had a bad experience, which is awesome I think and exploring is always fun
