I’ve had a little problem with my GPUs on Media Temple’s grid server. I had a bit of an emergency on my dedicated server late last week, and so in a moment of panic (at about 1AM) I moved my entire network of Wordpress blogs from their regular server to the grid.

I was amazed at how fast and robust all of the sites was after the move, but Monday I checked my GPU usage and was blown away. I quickly moved all of my sites back to their virtual dedicated server, and rented another dv machine to use as my MySQL server, but still I’ve used 1902 GPUs out of 1000 for the period 03/23/2007 - 04/23/2007.

It appears to have stopped growing as fast now that I moved everything, but I hope I don’t have to pay significantly more than $100 in overage charges this month!

The grid is an amazingly reliable piece of hardware — but you definitely pay for what you get!
