Moving soon
Aug 30th, 2007 by MSo Lambert
As previously announced, the Subscribe-O-Matic service will be moving to a new hosting provider soon. After some research, I decided for Media Temple.
They are an old player in the hosting business based in Los Angeles, CA and have been in business since 1998. They host some high traffic sites like techcrunch.com (curently over 605,000 people are subscribed just to their RSS feed) and well known brands like Starbucks, Sony, Diesel and others.
Their uptime is impressive and their scalable virtual server hosting will allow us to increase our resources as the Subscribe-O-Matic service grows.
I’m already preparing for the move, and I’m expecting we will make the switch somewhere around September 10th. I will try to make the move as smooth as possible for everyone, but there might be a few hours of downtime, and messaging will be disabled until the DNS changes propagate (which means you probably won’t be able to send a message for about 24 hours, but it’s usually much quicker than this).
If you have an active Subscribe-O-Matic subscription, I would suggest that you bookmark this site, or subscribe to the RSS feed, since I will be keeping you updated on the progress when the main site will go offline for the move.
