So here I am in my 4 month of being on the Media Temple Grid. I switched to the Grid because of some ridiculous down times at 1AND1. When I first came to the Grid it was everything I could have ever wanted and more. However, as probably most know, there was a fair amount of troubles on the Grid. Most of these were due to MYSQL issues. The last upgrade was Grid Master Release 1.2. A lot of “intermittent” issues occurring on the Grid have cleared up since. I’ve thrown a couple of my Grid sites under http://mon.itor.us/. I’ve noticed a HUGE increase in uptime and response times. Right now on the Grid I’m averaging 160ms response times. This can be compared against some of my client’s old 1AND1 sites that sit around 950-1200ms. (Side note, Dreamhost is averaging 130ms http://joshyee.com/ <- My friend’s site).

My trust in Media Temple’s Grid Servers is slowly but surely increasing. Thanks for your continued effort MT! Lovin it!
