Just a few days ago, I learned that my web host of choice, CrashProne is going to be shutting down, so I had a month to find a new home for my site and a few other sites I host. As luck would have it, I had just read about a new web host offering from MediaTemple, where sites are hosted on a grid of servers instead of one shared machine. Added speed and great price combined with a phenominal amount of storage and bandwidth easily convinced me to make the jump to (mt).
Now that the transition is complete and all my sites are up and running on the grid server, I am pleased to report that I could not be more satisfied with my decision. MediaTemple’s unique control panel made domain setup easy, and the SSH and remote MySQL access were welcome features that also aided in the transition. A full terabyte of bandwidth per month should ensure that Command-Tab can handle much more traffic than before, so thanks again for being a reader, and check out (mt) if you’re in need of a great web host!

I am thinking of moving a couple Rails apps over to mt’s new service. Yours is the first feedback I’ve heard since the new grid service launched, glad to hear it’s a positive experience. Thanks for sharing.
Revisiting this post after two years, I’m still with MediaTemple’s Grid Service and loving it. Their best feature, the admin control panel, is still second to none. If anyone reading this is still on the fence about (mt), definitely check them out — you won’t be disappointed.
