Don’t believe the hype of Gridservice
The MediaTemple Grid-service “is a cluster-based, modern hosting service powered by hundreds of servers working in tandem to power your websites, applications and email with unrivaled power, burstability and reliability”.
Sounds great, doesn’t it?
Background story
I’ve just recently moved to MediaTemple and at this moment my following sites are hosted with (mt): aytemir.com (that would be this blog), fan-tas-tic.com and VoetbalPortaal.com.
All three sites have very humble amount of traffic to handle and are Wordpress or vBulletin powered, with some standard popular plugins or mods.
Nothing fancy. Nothing special.

Hi, for a project I’m working on, I have almost identical issues at Mediatemple as you have.
I put a complaint at their helpdesk about the bad performance of their grid service (GS) and they point the finger to me, or te be more specific, the code I wrote.
On the MT forum, there are more people having major issues with the GS, so I think it’s time to move on to another provider.
