Ready for Grid Servers?

Media Temple announced the addition of a Grid Server hosting option.

Media Temple’s Grid-Server is a completely new hosting platform that replaces yesterday’s obsolete shared server technology. We’ve eliminated roadblocks and single points of failure by using hundreds of servers working in tandem for your site, applications, and email. The Grid’s on-demand scalability means you’ll always be ready for intense bursts of traffic and the growing audience resulting from your online success. All of this power, controlled through our brand new AccountCenter, is available today for a price point unmatched by any competing service.

100GB storage, 1TB bandwidth, up to 100 individual sites, and 1000 emails all for only $20 a month. Not quite as affordable as my cheapo $3.99/month GoDaddy hosting, but much better stats.  Plus, I like the idea of Grid computing. A lot.

Certainly something that I’ll keep in mind if I ever outgrow my GoDaddy hosting.  Could be a while though.
