If little Mena and the Six Apart team think for one minute that Typepad users and account holders will be mollified by explanations for outages that include excuses like, “power Outages at our data center”, they have another thing coming.
If the Six Apart Data Center subcontractors can’t provide reliable, 24.7.365 power and hot standby, they are out of step with the professional hosting industry that has indeed become coin of the realm.
Six Apart’s weak-assed ‘power outage excuses’ are not acceptable to me, a professional account holder, who has had a fraction of the down-time on a free WordPress.com account.
It ma be time to give Mena and the gang their walking papers.
