I'm really tempted by Media Temple's grid hosting package, but I've been hearing quite a few bad things on webhosttalk. Does anyone on here use them?
i've been to the site before, but i decided against it, and frankly, i can't recall why...
i think someone else here posted a link to it or i just found it by perusing for a new host...
sorry for the vague and uninformational answer 🙂
I've posted a link for it under the "what host should i use" thread, but the seriousness of my thoughts about upgrading have been escalated
for what it's worth, you can pick pretty much ANY webhost and find a reviews site and you WILL find people with bad experience... now, is it the webhosts fault, the person running the server, the web developer, who knows... they had a bad experience and they feel it is the hosts fault
i do now recall reading their information, the gs (grid server) approach does seem to be a new/different way for hosting, tho i'm not real sure how i got turned off by them as it seems i would like it, maybe it was the control panel, typically places that have their own cp don't do the greatest, but some are good
i may have read this: http://hostingfu.com/article/media-temples-grid-server
i seem to recall some of the user comments... but again, you'll get that with every host...
Hmmm, a lot of the links from that post give for interesting reading. Seems it's not so much a grid system, more of a cluster of load balanced web servers possibly feeding through to one NFS. Can you say "bottleneck"? (although the hardware they use is pretty cool)

His accent is really strong, we don't all talk like that you know.
Especially not the programming crowd lol.

No, they say things like "lol" instead. 😃
"But that's dialect, not accent." "Shaddap." "But suppose he uses bold a lot - would that be accent?" "Shaddap." "Suppose he's got a pointed stick?" "Shaddap."

It looks pretty good, and I knew someone who used it. They did not like it too much and they bought their own server insetead. But I think it is okay 🙂.
