    I migrated to the new Grid Server (not the lite - needed the extra databases and bandwidth)

    I had a few PHP hassles.

    - Because any secondary domains are in different folder scructures, I had some cusom .HTACCESS relative path issues I wasn't expecting.
    - Some settings seem different - I think it's because register_globals is now off... had to make some PHP code adjustments (but could have changed the register globals setting back)
    - Generally I seem to get slower response times accessing my sites (although pages may load faster). I seems database calls are taking a little longer.
    - The new webmail is the only real thing I like - everything else is "blah, whateva"
    - No longer use localhost for database names, so had to adjust all my code for that: the BIG bummer here is they don't give you the domain name to change it to until after you migrate, so there is no way you can prepare for this one. I had to turn all my sites off as soon as they migrated, fix code, then turn back on.
