    I say this all the time and I'll say it again:

    Grid Service is probably just some hype terminology that in reality isn't anything different in a technical sense than any other large-scale web host out there. Please think about it: Is one guy on the block really going to have something totally different than anyone else in that industry? No. They're all going to do what is a best-practice and works best for their clients. I'd bet that there are tons of other hosting environments doing the exact same thing, they're just not putting out neat terminology and whatnot about what it is that makes their sites and their hosting environment work.

    I have nothing personally against MediaTemple, never used then and also never considered them, but time and time again when they come up around here I can't help but remind any of you that use them that you are paying an insane amount of $$ per month for something you probably utilize 10% capability of in comparison to dozens and dozens of equally reputable, cheaper hosts out there.
