After the merger TP dumped colocation. Now they are offering it again. Wonder if business is bad and they have tons of free space?

maybe cause they don't have a history of offering good service and they need income.

The Planet has always been good to me personally whenever I needed a quick development server up in less then 24 hours.

I too noticed the other week Jason. I find this to be very interesting as there was a lot of complaints that they stopped and weeded off some of the people who were already co-located with them.

 

@ Steve: How long have you been with TP?

Off and on, since I started getting all my hardware from ColoCrossing I haven't purchased since. I would say I've used 4 servers from them over 2 years 2006-2008. All different configurations and none of them in a business capacity. Just development work. The sales reps there lower prices to make development affordable.

We once Colo'd at The Planet, about 6 years ago. It was a miserable experience.

WHT is laced with reports of their quality of service going down, so this thread comes as no surprise to me. No personal experience with them, though, as I came to Velocity after we left TP.

Same here. We left after they implemented the '10 server max' about 4 yrs ago. Not sure what the angle was with that..

How ironic, I remember them advertising their own whitepaper less than a month ago shouting the evils of colocated hosting and why their rental hosting was the best thing since sliced bread

 

Will see if I can dig it out from my downloads folder.

That would be ironic King.

 

I hadn't visited their web page in a while and noticed it changed again. They did away with the splash page and went straight to the material.
