(mt) Media Temple is now all marketing and appearances. The (gs) Grid-Service is a failure. Very nice concept, but unfortunately doesn't work. Their previous shared server solution was brilliant and worked for years, I bought the marketing line and migrated at my own expense to the (gs) and have since experienced the worst downtime, latency and poor support one could imagine. There was a time when (mt) Media Temple was the absolute best in the industry hands-down, but now they are directly responsible for endless stressful days and nights fielding client calls and emails about how their site or email isn't working. I intend to move my extensive client list off the (gs) and to a more reliable and stable host. Yes, they have a nice architecturally profound office, an elegant interface for the control panel and account center, but that's now all show and misdirection for a poorly executed shared grid environment. I would much prefer a reliable company with stable hosting that has a gross logo and uninspired control panel if it meant that my client's sites would always be up and their emails never failing. Company bottom lines are directly affected by downtime and can't be tolerated at any expense, not in today's market and world. With no improvement in sight.

I'm 100% sure it can handle a surge of traffic from Digg, Slashdot, anywhere. The only thing that worries me is if all of Akami redirects here, or Amazon hotlinks an image.
