Moving to from Media Temple to Linode

This weekend I finally found the time and motivation to do something that I probably should have done a couple of years ago, I started moving my sites away from Media Temple’s Grid Server. If you’re reading this post then i guess the migration to my shiny new Linode VPS has been successful. I was very tempted to write an in-depth discussion of why I have left Media Temple and why i chose Linode. I decided not to for a few reasons:

• This could just be my opinion – feel free to do your own research though
• Media Temple are likely to be too busy schmoozing at industry parties to care
• Its sunny outside and i can smell BBQ
• I’ve already exhausted too many hours trying to make my Grid Server usable, i don’t intend to waste any more of my time even thinking about them
• I’m a geek with a shiny new toy that doesn’t suck, i intend to play with it now
