New Hosting Option

Interesting article on TechCrunch about Media Temple. They have been on our radar as a higher end hosting solution for a while, but a new product of theirs is rather interesting for churches and ministries.

On Tuesday Media Template launched GridServer which provides dedicated level hosting at a shared price. For the majority of readers what that means is better performance and scalability for less money.

The concept is one that Google uses called Grid Computing. The basic idea is have a ton of relatively cheap computers all hooked up together to make one very stable, very powerful “computer”. The “secret sauce” is writing the software that makes all those individual computers work together seamlessly.

Google has mastered this, and this is Media Temple’s first foray. From their past performance I except this to be a great option for many churches and ministries.

We’ll keep our eye on this one for you.
