Media Temple is one of the highest quality hosts available today. They offer competitive plans at very reasonable prices. In the hosting world “you get what you pay for�. The less money you spend, the lower the uptime and the lower quality of the server. Media Temple uses the best best of the best hardware wise.
Unlike other top hosts (mt) MediaTemple uses ISP class servers from HP specifically designed for web hosting.
• HP ProLiant rack-chasis, G4 platform
• Dual 3.6 GHz Processors w/ 2MB L2 cache
• 800 MHz Front Side Bus
• Intel EM64T and HyperThreading technology
• 4GBs of DDR2 400MHz Memory
• Fiber-optically connected SAN storage
• Redundant power supplies, redundant fans
Currently (mt) does has some restricting limitations but the new version of their system is currently in beta mode. The new system, called ss6, will include Ruby on Rails support, PHP 4/5 support, upgraded MySQL & New PostgreSQL Support, more disk space and bandwidth, new email and control panel services, multiple website hosting, and the best thing of all (mt) cluster technology. The new cluster technology should help ease the strain from the digg effect.
Since (mt) currently only uses MySQL 3 I will have to do some tweaking to get the database to transfer. Currently, as of August 16, 2006, I am still using the Dreamhost database but am hosting the files from the (mt) servers.
I really want to upgrade to ss 6.0 this week. I just sent a request to (mt), hopefully I will get into the beta. I apologize that all of the comments are lost. A few are still there, for some reason.
