So. Ive been shopping around for newer more powerful hosting for a number of my own sites as well as some new projects for my employer…
After LOTS of reading and research, I’m doing an experiment over the next few weeks where I will be migrating most of my sites as well as a really big new one for work to the Media Temple Grid Servers.
Don’t actually have a lot to say at the moment except that their control panel is really pretty. Their sales team seems competent. What they say they provide is really good…
Lets all see how it goes. Should be interesting… anyone who has read about them since 2006ish has prolly heard the horror stories about crappy speed… downtime… lack of intelligent support… all the bad words you don’t wanna hear about a host. I haven’t been able to find a decent article on them dated much later than December of 2007 that doesn’t talk about the massive improvements in support and uptime. Leads me to believe that the lack of “press” could be due to improvements and lack of stuff for people to bitch about.
anyway… I’m a guinea pug now… we shall see if I regret it.
Some of my sites will be left at my current host… who I have always been happy with.
Client sites wont be moved until I have verified that (mt) is all I hope they are they say they are.
Time will tell…
