  • Wordpress VIP Go sites are experience outages (yes, us included)

    image

    You might have notice something funny if you visited TechCrunch dot com this morning (aside form the usual dryly hilarious tech commentary, that is). Our site, along with others, was hit by a major issue to WordPress’s VIP Go platform. For now, you’ll have to settle for a potted plant in place of our normal elucidating commentary. At least the image is reasonably zen. 

    We, like the rest of the impacted sites, are investigating the issue at present. 

    The company offered a comment to TechCrunch this morning, noting, “We’re currently experiencing issues affecting sites hosted on the VIP Go platform. This is affecting multiple sites. Our team is working swiftly to resolve this across all affected sites.” Essentially the same thing it posted to its own service site this morning. 

    The issues are impacting other large sites as well, including 9to5 Mac, which noted that it has “reverted to default Wordpress theme until the issue is resolved.”

    9. hhhjgghyu said: That is why hosting wordpress yourself is the key! We all knew this problem would happen. Either they need to outsource the hosting or spread our their datacenters to all over the world, and let those set it up on a datacenter nearest to the owner of the site. This will happen to others also in the future. Facebook, Google, Amazon has been Good in building server farms all over the world and let the users decide where they want to host Your site.
