If you are looking for a hosting provider, you need to check out Media Temple’s new Grid Server product that launched this morning. For $20 per month (the same price as most low end shared hosting providers), they are offering a fully scalable hosting product that will grow (or spike) along with your site. See TechCrunch for more details, but there are aspects to this that are superior to shared, virtual dedicated, and even dedicated server hosting.
Michael Arrington spoke with Demian Sellfors (CEO), Chris Leah (Director of Technology), Alex Capehart (Director Marketing) and David Feinberg (Product Manager) for 30 minutes yesterday about the new product. The podcast is enclosed.

I would hope the cluster is not utilizing SAN storage? This would decrement the access time. Although provide an unlimited storage capability – How do you intend to scale storage?
Does the grid server support PHP sessions?
I found it lacking, for now, myself.
yes they launched new service, but hey people it is only a nice talk. I am one of the customers with 4 domains and last month after switching to (gs) I decided to talk, because mt is not gonna say a word about what is going on. mt (gs) is not stable at all. I have my site constanly (2-3) times a day down for the past month. Last month I submited over 30 tickets and I call to mt more than 15 times. Customer support is bussy like never before. One day they told they have 400 tickets and they not gonna be able to help me in next few days. So mt how great you are. I would say you are worste hosting provider now.
you better STAY AWAY from the grid server
