MediaTemple Grid Hosting

[CaptainKahuna]

MediaTemple is offering a new hosting plan called GridServer. It seems pretty different than any other company's offerings, and the web site makes it sound pretty slick.

Of course because it's new, I'm a little skeptical, but tempted to go for it. Does anyone have any experiences or opinions? Speed? Reliability?

It had a few hiccups when it started up. It's basically a pimped up clustered hosting solution. The main -ve point I noticed was , when they started, they only had one database user allowed (IIRC).

Check out webhostingtalk.com, they have several threads on the subject. If you decide to sign up, search webhostingtalk for a 10% off coupon that's floating around.

No kidding. I'm trying to discern how much is marketing and how much is substance.

Has anyone had any firsthand, recent experiences?
